Leandro Díaz’s 100th goal can’t stop his fury at Monumental de Tucumán | OneFootball

Atlético Tucumán thrashed Estudiantes de Río Cuarto 4-0 at the Monumental José Fierro with a stellar performance from Leandro Díaz. The forward was the standout figure of the night, scoring a brace: the first from a penalty at 18 minutes and the second —the 100th of his professional career— with a great left-footed finish between the legs of goalkeeper Luis Ingolotti. However, his performance was overshadowed by another sudden outburst against the crowd.

The tension was evident in the celebrations; the "Loco" avoided celebrating his first goal and, for the second, pointed to his left ear facing the stands. The critical moment occurred at 42 minutes into the second half when coach Hugo Colace decided to substitute him for Manuel Brondo. As he left the field, Díaz ran directly towards the tunnel with the intention of climbing into the stands to confront a fan who had insulted him. The incident did not escalate thanks to the quick intervention of substitute goalkeeper, Tomás Durso, who managed to restrain him.

The Decano locker room was not indifferent to the situation. Renzo Tesuri, who scored the first goal of the match, commented on his teammate's temperament after the final whistle: “We don't like these things, but he's a grown man. Criticism hurts, but he's the first to arrive at training and loves the club,” he said, trying to calm the situation.

This episode adds to the striker's conflictive history in Tucumán. It is worth remembering that during the 2025 Clausura against San Lorenzo, Díaz had already attempted to enter the stands to confront a group of fans after a defeat, a situation that was prevented by the stadium's security personnel.
