The San Martín Sentinel
Match19 Aug 2026
San Martín bow out of the cup
Vélez go through and San Martín go home, 2‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Darío Sand is the hero from the spot
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Darío Sand: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
Match22 Aug 2026
No end in sight to San Martín's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at San Martín has to find a result from somewhere.

Luciano Ferreyra runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at San Martín
Nicolás Castro was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Lucas Diarte 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.

A masterclass from Luca Arfaras
Marked 8.58 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
Match22 Aug 2026
A bad afternoon for San Martín against Colegiales
0‑1 to Colegiales, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

A masterclass from Aníbal Paz
Marked 8.12 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
