Felipe Zenobio’s move to Panathinaikos falls through
The deal that would have taken Felipe Zenobio to Panathinaikos has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Tigre with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Brian Calderara asks to leave Tigre
“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.

Felipe Zenobio stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Martín Garay pops up at the right end — 7.84
7.84, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Graduation day at Tigre
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Alan Barrionuevo 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 Tigre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match5 Feb 2028
Tigre see off Huracán
Three points for Tigre, 2‑1 the final word against Huracán in a contest settled by the finer margins.

One of their own: Thiago Airala
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Match5 Feb 2028
At last: Tigre win one
5 matches without a win, and then this, against Huracán. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.
In brief
- Market Luis Russo steps up from the Tigre academy
- Market Carlos Núñez steps up from the Tigre academy
- Boardroom Tigre let a promise lapse
