The Antequera Herald
Squad13 Dec 2027
A knee injury of the worst kind for Matías Sánchez
117 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Antequera lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Player ratings13 Dec 2027
Up for the corner, and Edu Sánchez delivers — 7.91
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Edu Sánchez scored, was marked 7.91, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Ian Subiabre 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 Antequera this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom13 Dec 2027
Carlos Alemán will join Antequera for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Carlos Alemán has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Antequera have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.
The dugout13 Dec 2027
No hiding place for Gaspar Iñíguez
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gaspar Iñíguez, and the manager let it.
Squad13 Dec 2027
Antequera lose Iván Solís
15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
Squad13 Dec 2027
Marcelo Ribeiro wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Antequera know it.
Match11 Dec 2027
Honours even between Antequera and Real Murcia
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
The dugout13 Dec 2027
Alberto Quintana asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
