The Tigre Sentinel
Match9 Sep 2026
Tigre march on in the cup
Rosario Central are out and Tigre go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Alejandro Medina, 21, steals the show — 7.81
Marked 7.81 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.
Match12 Sep 2026
Tigre make it 4 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Tigre have 4 straight wins of it.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Words at Tigre training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Felipe Zenobio 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.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Tigre agree a free transfer for Nicolás Paz
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Bruno Leyes
“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.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
The crowd has taken to Simón Rivero
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match12 Sep 2026
Tigre are at home on the road
3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.
Match12 Sep 2026
Mauro Méndez sends Tigre past Racing Club
