The San Martín de Burzaco Chronicle

From our football correspondent Steady

Match

The cup run ends for San Martín de Burzaco

0‑2 against Agropecuario Argentino, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad

A fracture rules Alejandro Ávalos out for 28 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason San Martín de Burzaco will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The dugout

Tomás Páez: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” San Martín de Burzaco have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at San Martín de Burzaco

Matías Cano and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces

San Martín de Burzaco supporters have found a favourite in Ezequiel Gerez

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Ezequiel Gerez has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

David Soria the difference as San Martín de Burzaco beat Los Andes

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: David Soria. 2‑0 against Los Andes, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

One of those days for Lucas Lezcano

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.00, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom

Doors closed at San Martín de Burzaco

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout

Joaquín Méndez: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑0, already talking about the next one.

In brief
