The dugout

Benjamín Garay says Sacachispas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Sacachispas

The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Market

Santiago Sánchez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sacachispas can pretend not to have heard.

Match

The run at home goes on for Sacachispas

12 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Boardroom

A new deal for Noah Ibáñez

The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sacachispas

Henry Rochón 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.

Boardroom

6 academy graduates step up at Sacachispas

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

Nicolás Rojas 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.

Market

Puma steps up from the Sacachispas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Puma 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.

In brief
