Both of them Facundo Pons's — 8.53
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.53, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A defender's goal wins it for San Martín — 7.50
1 for Kevin López, marked 7.50, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

San Martín may not be able to give Marcos López what he wants
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Marcos López wants continental football; whether San Martín can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
San Martín to lose Leonardo Monroy for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Leonardo Monroy has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Facundo Pons 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 San Martín this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Marcos López beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Match22 Aug 2026
San Martín get the job done against Tristán Suárez
A 3‑1 win over Tristán Suárez, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Gonzalo Rodríguez 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.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Nahuel Gallardo
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nahuel Gallardo, and the manager let it.
In brief
