As he tries to shape his identity and thinks about asserting himself, the Mouth by Jorge Almirón maintains a good attitude. He often adds joy and is on his way to the local league. Of course, it wasn’t enough for him to fight for the title. However, it helps him get closer to the qualifying zone for international cups.
Today xeneizes defeated Sarmiento 2-0 in Bombonera. They did it this time without the decisive influence of their side markers, some of whom were turned into outside midfielders based on tests conducted by the coach. In this case, there are other apparitions.
Oscar Romero assisted Miguel Merentiel from the left in the first. Later, Luis Vázquez served it up to Cristian Medina to seal the victory and to confirm himself as the standout of the match. A curiosity: both goals came in counter-attack constructions. An irony considering that Boca achieved a very high possession of the ball. With this victory, then, Almirón’s team is two points away from the classification zone of international competitions.
Two greats from Avellaneda achieved important victories. Independiente, who are in danger of relegation, have the most needs. And they took a breather in their 1-0 victory over the hit Huracán, another team with a history of not finding their way and fighting to escape from the lower zone, pending its new coach Diego Martínez, who will take over this Monday .
El Rojo did not play well, but they enjoyed a timely goal from Martín Cauteruccio, who was ready to push the ball, given enough power in a game analyzed and validated by VAR. The first half is almost over. A better moment, impossible. All in a game of many nerves. Thus, Independiente has maintained its unbeaten home record since coach Ricardo Zielinski took over: four wins and two draws.
The other giant from Avellaneda, Karera, is performing well in the Libertadores, a competition where they are ranked first in a group they share with the mighty Flamengo. The Academy’s problem is with local competition. That’s why his landslide victory in Santa Fe against Colón was so important.
Now without Matías Rojas (a key man who was just out of action), Racing gave a great show of strength. In just 37 minutes, the albiceleste team hit three shots through Maxi Romero, Gabriel Hauche and Nicolás Oroz (the first two, great goals). While it was almost an hour, with more time, Facundo Mura pointed to the room. DT Fernando Gago did not hesitate: “It was the best of the year.”
The classic Cordovan was won by the Institute
In Sunday’s other game, the Cordovan classic was won by Instituto, beating Belgrano 1-0. It was a day of smiles for struggling Banfield, who beat Gaby Milito’s Argentinos 1-0. In turn, Defense and Justice won 1-0 against Tiger. Today the 22nd will be closed by Newell’s – Gymnastics.
With only five games left until the end of the Argentine league, with 50 points River is still the only leader, maintaining a big difference to the rest despite their defeat on Saturday (1-2 against mediocre Barracas Central). Second with 41 are Talleres (drawn 1-1 with Godoy Cruz) and San Lorenzo (beat Rosario Central 1-0). Lanús is third with 40. Then, Estudiantes with 37, Defense with 36, Rosario Central with 35 and Belgrano with 34.
