Marcos Landaburu leads the rout of Agropecuario Argentino
4‑0, and Marcos Landaburu took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Sportivo Italiano tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Agustín Benítez breaks a bone — 52 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 52 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A brace, and Marcos Landaburu takes the afternoon — 9.58
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Marcos Landaburu provided it, and the 9.58 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Mariano Peralta Bauer scores twice — 8.56
Two goals and a mark of 8.56 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Gonzalo Yordan 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.
Squad8 Feb 2027
Jonathan Rivero out for 34 days
The medical room confirms 34 days on the sidelines for Jonathan Rivero, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

3 academy graduates step up at Sportivo Italiano
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Lautaro Taboada 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 Sportivo Italiano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of our own: Liam Ortiz joins the Sportivo Italiano first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Liam Ortiz is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Lucas Rodríguez steps up from the Sportivo Italiano academy
- Market Eduardo Peralta steps up from the Sportivo Italiano academy
