Leandro Díaz’s fury erupts after 100th goal 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 striker was the standout figure of the night, scoring a brace: the first from the penalty spot in the 18th minute and the second —the 100th goal of his professional career— with a great left-footed finish between the legs of goalkeeper Luis Ingolotti. However, his performance was overshadowed by yet another impulsive reaction towards the stands.

The tension was evident during the celebrations; the “Loco” avoided celebrating his first goal and, after the second, pointed to his left ear facing the stands. The critical moment came in the 87th minute, when coach Hugo Colace decided to substitute him for Manuel Brondo. As he left the field, Díaz ran straight towards the tunnel intending to climb 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 dressing room was not immune to the situation. Renzo Tesuri, scorer of the match’s first goal, 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 he loves the club,” he said, trying to calm things down.

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