Oscar Alfredo Ustari (born 3 July 1986) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Chilean Primera División side Audax Italiano.

After starting out at Independiente, he spent most of his professional career in Spain, mainly with Getafe, where he had his spell marred by injuries. He also played several seasons in Liga MX.

Ustari represented Argentina at the 2006 World Cup, and won a gold medal with the country at the Summer Olympics in 2008.

Club career

[edit]

Born in América, Buenos Aires, Ustari arrived in Independiente's youth system at the age of 14. The untimely deaths of Emiliano Molina and Lucas Molina – both playing in his position – propelled him to the first team sooner than expected,[2] and he made his Primera División debut on 5 October 2005 in a 2–0 win against Newell's Old Boys, remaining first choice with the Avellaneda side in the following tournaments, under both Jorge Burruchaga and Miguel Ángel Santoro (both former players with the club, the latter also a goalkeeper).

On 10 June 2007, Ustari scored from a penalty kick against Quilmes, also leaving the pitch injured[3] and going on to miss the year's Copa América. One month later, he signed for Getafe in Spain for 4 million,[4] teaming up with his compatriot and goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri. His official debut came on 26 September 2007, in a 2–1 La Liga loss at Valencia.[5]

Ustari struggled during his spell in Madrid, due to inconsistent performances and several injury problems.[6][7] On 17 July 2012, after a 14-month lay-off due to the latter, he terminated his contract which still had another year running.[8]

On 25 July 2012, Ustari returned to his country and joined Boca Juniors.[9] He moved back to Spain the following year, however, with Almería which had just returned to the top flight.[10]

On 21 January 2014, after only three Copa del Rey matches to his credit, Ustari was released by the Andalusians and signed a six-month contract with Sunderland.[11] He made his debut for his new team four days later, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 home win against Kidderminster Harriersinthe fourth round of the FA Cup.[12] He was also in goal in the following game in the tournament, and the result was the same against Southampton,[13] and was an unused substitute on 2 March in the final losstoManchester CityatWembley.[14]

On 6 July 2014, Ustari returned to his homeland again to play for Newell's Old Boys, agreeing to a one-and-a-half-year deal.[15] On 16 December of the following year, he switched to the Mexican Liga MX after signing for Club Atlas.[16] On 2 November 2017, in the dying minutes of the 1–1 home draw to Tigres UANL while at the service of the latter club, he suffered an horrific injury to his left knee after kicking a long ball forward,[17] going on to be sidelined for several months.[18]

Ustari took his game to the Uruguayan Primera División in July 2019, with the free agent signing with Liverpool Montevideo.[19]

On 17 January 2020, Ustari returned to Mexico joining Liga MX club Pachuca.[20]

In 2024, he moved to Chile and joined Audax Italiano in the Primera División.[21]

International career

[edit]

Ustari played all the matches for the Argentina under-20 team that won the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.[22] On 15 May 2006, he was named by senior side coach José Pekerman to the 2006 FIFA World Cup squad alongside his future Getafe teammate Abbondanzieri, being an unused member.[23]

Ustari won his first full cap on 22 August 2007, featuring the entire 2–1 friendly loss in Norway.[24][25] He also started the victorious campaign of the under-23 team at the 2008 Summer OlympicsinBeijing,[26] but suffered a severe foot injury in the quarter-finals against the Netherlands, being sidelined for eight months.[27]

Personal life

[edit]

Ustari's father-in-law, Ricardo Giusti, was also a footballer. He too represented Independiente and Argentina.[28]
