The Unión de Santa Fe Courier
Match18 Sep 2026
A European lesson for Unión de Santa Fe
0‑1 against Palmeiras. Continental football is unforgiving about the things a domestic league lets a side get away with, and this was a night spent finding out which of those the club still has.
Match19 Sep 2026
6 matches without a win for Unión de Santa Fe
The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Unión de Santa Fe are no longer polite ones.

Ignacio Malcorra in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Unión de Santa Fe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Cristian Tarragona gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Words at Unión de Santa Fe training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Eric Ramírez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
The dugout21 Sep 2026
The team sheet said everything about Augusto Solari
Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Augusto Solari.
The dugout21 Sep 2026
Ignacio Malcorra dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
Match19 Sep 2026
Honours even between Unión de Santa Fe and Newell's Old Boys
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
The dugout21 Sep 2026
Lucas Flores: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
