Match8 Apr 2028

At last: Deportes Santa Cruz win one

9 matches without a win, and then this, against Union Espanola. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Pedro Costa puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Deportes Santa Cruz, and it is not being withdrawn.

José Tomino 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 Deportes Santa Cruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad10 Apr 2028

A move Vinícius Cortês would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Vinícius Cortês is living that version at Deportes Santa Cruz, and it tends to show in the first month.

Diego Urzúa 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.

The crowd has taken to Emiliano Ramos

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match8 Apr 2028

Emiliano Ramos sends Deportes Santa Cruz past Union Espanola

It finished 1‑0, and it was Emiliano Ramos’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Deportes Santa Cruz.

Player ratings10 Apr 2028

The afternoon belonged to Emiliano Ramos

A mark of 7.99, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Player ratings10 Apr 2028

Nobody could get near Ángel Gillard

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom8 Feb 2027

Deportes Santa Cruz told to sell

The instruction came from the boardroom and the dugout did not agree with it. Somebody will go, the fee will be called good business, and the manager will spend the season rebuilding around the space.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Deportes Santa Cruz

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

Squad8 Feb 2027

Words at Deportes Santa Cruz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lucas Palavecino 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.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Miguel Stoco signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Miguel Stoco commits to Deportes Santa Cruz for another 3 years.

Market8 Feb 2027

A long bet from Deportes Santa Cruz on Miguel Stoco

He is 20, and nobody at Deportes Santa Cruz signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad8 Feb 2027

No place for Miguel Stoco in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Deportes Santa Cruz are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
