Marked for Facundo Di Sibio

Squad7 Sep 2026
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Agropecuario Argentino will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Player ratings7 Sep 2026
Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Squad7 Sep 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Agropecuario Argentino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad7 Sep 2026
“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.
Loan watch7 Sep 2026
“I did not go to Tractor to sit and watch. I want to come back to Agropecuario Argentino and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 0 matches say the rest.
Player ratings7 Sep 2026
Marked 7.08. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.
Market7 Sep 2026
Still no offer on the table, and Bruno Fassetta Argüello’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
Match5 Sep 2026
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against San Martín SJ? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tomislav Štrkalj damages knee ligaments — 21 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 21 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
Match2 Sep 2026
Cup progress for Tractor
A 1‑0 win over Saba, 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
Matías Pérez Acuña 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.

Mehdi Hashemnejad was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.42. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Words at Tractor training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Salazar 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.
Squad7 Sep 2026
“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.
Market7 Sep 2026
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Damián Lemos 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.

At 22 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.
Match29 Aug 2026
A 1‑0 win over Defensores Unidos, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Santiago Gallucci Otero, and the manager let it.
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
A mark of 7.83, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
