Sergio Aguero At TST7v7 tournament
Sergio Aguero has his team in the tournament and during the first game of the competition on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, emotions reached boiling point.
As the attacker dribbled towards the area on the ball, he was halted by a crunching studs-up challenge from a defender on the opposing team.
The former Barcelona man screamed and fell to the turf, gesturing that he had been hurt, whilst rolling and holding his shin with fans in the crowd left gasping.
Aguero subsequently got to his feet and moved straight to the player who did the nasty tackle, pushing and squaring up to him furiously as they ranted at each other.
The argument continued for some seconds before a teammate of Sergio Aguero aggravated the matter with another push on the defender.
Anyway, things then swiftly became calm, but Sergio Aguero was seen pointing out the damage to his leg to the referee in charge of the affair.
Moreover, Aguero’s team fell to a 6-3 defeat, and that has seen them slump to the bottom spot of their group after one game.
