The bid was some way short and San Telmo did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Lautaro López asks to leave San Telmo
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Words exchanged at San Telmo
Juan Cruz Zurbriggen and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

One of our own: Facundo Martínez joins the San Telmo first team

Hernán Alonso steps up from the San Telmo academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hernán Alonso has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Jerónimo Porto Lapegüe stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.86 on the card, and the San Telmo support went home talking about one name.

The manager’s verdict
“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Miguel Ángel Rey kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.
In brief

- Looking ahead The leaders are next for San Telmo
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Javier Iritier
