Output in context · Independiente finished 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
