First, in the afternoon, they were captured career and Independent along with the Avellaneda classic. Then, in the evening, I will catch the presentation of river by Marcelo Gallardo in Monumental, before a to Newell who went six days without winning. However, both proposals ended in nothing from 0 to 0. And the only good celebrated on Sunday in the Argentine league was Saint Lawrence.
El Ciclón was hit by its eliminations in the Argentine Cup and the Libertadores. They are seven games without a win, with four losses and three draws. It seems that his idol-coach Leandro Romagnoli couldn’t take it anymore. That’s why the Talleres crossing was key. And San Lorenzo took a big step forward to a deserved 2-0.
Both said goodbye to the Libertadores for a week and thought of this story as a springboard to recovery. San Lorenzo suffered in the first 20 minutes, but then became superior and won with two great goals. The first, from Alexis Cuello, after a great pass from Nicolás Trippichio. And promising youth player Elián Irala closed it out with a left footed shot from outside the area. Now it’s time to combine and accumulate points to see if they can qualify for an international cup.
The Avellaneda classic was embroiled in controversy. The race generated several goal situations and always looked for it, but collided with the safety of goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey and some imperfections to define. Independiente played for an hour with one man less and dedicated themselves to the fight. The 0-0 draw therefore left a better feeling for Julio Vaccari’s team, which is in a rebuilding phase.
River closes it out Sunday, at Monumental, against a Newell team that has gone six games without a win. And Marcelo Gallardo’s team, although searching, became a shadow, clueless. He hardly created any scoring chances. The Rosario team, with intensity, concentration and application, without giving up on counterattacking, saved a positive equality, also 0-0.
Marcos Acuña, the former Sevilla player who joined a few days ago, made his debut at River. He made it a left side marker and rounded off the right production. He couldn’t weigh it. The same thing happened to youth players Franco Mastantuono and then Claudio Echeverri. This time Miguel Borja had no clear chance to score.
Since the arrival of Muñeco, despite qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, the millionaires have not been convincing in the game and have not won in the local league (three draws) since the return of their legendary coach. Gallardo dropped a cautious message. He asked for “time” and said that “nothing will be easy.” His team missed a good chance to chip away at the points from leaders Huracán, who drew on Saturday against Argentinos.
In the 12th round there is still a game left. The leader is Huracán with 24 points. Atlético Tucumán (if they beat Rosario Central today they will jump to the top) and Unión are second with 22. Racing, Vélez and Instituto have 21. Talleres have 20 and Deportivo Riestra 18.
Boca, just eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana, will try to beat Estudiantes today in La Plata. If they achieve this, they will reach 20 points and are in a promising place to focus now on the domestic league.
