Marked for Leonardo Sequeira

Crisis
Match28 Sep 2026
Huracán are in real trouble now
Position 15, 4 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.
Match26 Sep 2026
5 matches without a win for Huracán
The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Huracán are no longer polite ones.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Martín Nervo 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 Huracán this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Martín Nervo gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Match26 Sep 2026
0‑2 to River Plate, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Words at Huracán training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Sequeira is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
8 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Hernán Galíndez dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Crisis
Match9 Sep 2026
The cup run ends for Huracán
0‑2 against Rosario Central, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Martín Nervo 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.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Leonardo Sequeira was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Squad14 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Hernán Galíndez
“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.
Match12 Sep 2026
Barracas Central left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Doors closed at Huracán
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
The chances came and went for Emilio Zelaya
8 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Match2 Sep 2026
Cup progress for Huracán
A 2‑1 win over Godoy Cruz, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
Squad7 Sep 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match2 Sep 2026
Huracán win it in stoppage time
The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 103th minute. Godoy Cruz will replay every second of the added time for a week.
Player ratings7 Sep 2026
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 7.93, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Martín Nervo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Squad7 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Juan Bisanz
“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.

Match5 Sep 2026
It needed Luciano Giménez to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Estudiantes, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Uneasy
Market17 Aug 2026
Huracán say no — this time
The offer from Nottingham Forest for Tahiel Peralta was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Words at Huracán training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fabio Pereyra is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.38, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
Squad17 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Federico Vera, and the manager let it.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Shots: 9, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Squad17 Aug 2026
The manager has not finished forgetting Leonardo Gil's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
Match15 Aug 2026
A 1‑1 draw with Gimnasia La Plata leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
