Atlético Tucumán tear Gimnasia y Esgrima apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Gimnasia y Esgrima, and it could have been more.
Player ratings8 Feb 2027
Both of them Leandro Díaz's — 9.23
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.23, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Nicolás Laméndola runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The crowd has taken to Alexis Segovia
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.

One of our own: Juan Carlos Vidal joins the Atlético Tucumán first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Juan Carlos Vidal is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
