[edit] Career
Fernández started his career playing for River Plate in 2006, coming on as a substitute in a 5–0 victory over Tiro Federal. With River he won the 2008 Clausura under Diego Simeone's coaching, playing on 15 of the 19 games (9 starts).[1]
On 28 August 2009, after fellow Argentine Gonzalo Bergessio joined AS Saint-Etienne, the midfielder arrived to the aforementioned French club.[2] Fernández was loaned to the French club by a third-party owner of his rights, Israeli businessman Pinhas Zahavi.
On 9 July 2010 Argentine Primera División side Vélez Sársfield bought 100% of his rights from Pinhas Zahavi for 1.5 million US dollars.[3] Fernández signed a 3-year deal.[4] On his first tournament with his new club (2010 Apertura), Fernández played 12 games (all as a starter) on Vélez' runner-up campaign.[5] On the next half of the season, Augusto totaled 17 games (over 19) and 4 goals in his team's league winning campaign (2011 Clausura),[6] and 10 games (over 12) and 4 goals on their Copa Libertadores semi-finalist campaign. During the semester, he scored in 57 days twice as much goals as he had during his entire professional career: 3 on the Copa Libertadores and another 3 on the Argentine league.[7][8] Against LDU Quito for the Copa Libertadores round of 16, he also scored his first double.[9]
