Carlos Martín runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 48. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

No end in sight to Racing Santander's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Racing Santander has to find a result from somewhere.

Simon Eriksson 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 Racing Santander this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Pablo Ramón 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.
Match26 Sep 2026
3 matches without a goal for Racing Santander
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Racing Santander count the cost of losing Jorge Cabrera
14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The manager makes an example of Aritz Aldasoro
“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.

No goals between Racing Santander and Leganés
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Leganés will be the happier side with the point.

Racing Santander put Ekaitz Jiménez up for sale
The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Ekaitz Jiménez may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.
