Marked for Brian Gutiérrez

Match

Chastening afternoon for Unión de Santa Fe

A 0‑3 beating by Lanús was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

The wait goes on for Unión de Santa Fe

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Lautaro Di Lollo 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.

Match

Unión de Santa Fe leaking at the back

4 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Player ratings

Agustín Colazo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Brian Gutiérrez 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.

Boardroom

Inquest at Unión de Santa Fe

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad

When it matters, Mauro Pittón plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Emilio Giaccone falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Lautaro Di Lollo 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.

Squad

Federico Gomes Gerth stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Federico Gomes Gerth and Unión de Santa Fe agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at Unión de Santa Fe training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tomás González 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Junior Marabel

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Still no ink between Unión de Santa Fe and Brian Gutiérrez

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Unión de Santa Fe, another week without a signature from Brian Gutiérrez.

Market

The Lionel Verde talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Unión de Santa Fe know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
