“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Tigre may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tigre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Alfio Oviedo 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.

Match24 Oct 2026
Still nobody has beaten Tigre
The unbeaten run reaches 16. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match24 Oct 2026
Nobody wins at Tigre
10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Ramón Arias 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.

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
Match24 Oct 2026
Point won or two lost for Tigre?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against River Plate? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Alejandro Medina has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Tigre will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

2 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Tigre money.

Match5 Oct 2026
Tigre refuse to drop out of the race
Position 1, 19 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
Match3 Oct 2026
Whatever happens, Tigre do not lose
13 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Tempers go at Tigre
Jabes Saralegui 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.

The run at home goes on for Tigre
8 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

The young player of the month award goes to a 20-year-old at Tigre who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

A place in the month's best eleven for Nahuel Banegas
Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Nahuel Banegas has come out of that comparison in the side, and Tigre have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

A mark of 7.13, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
