Centro Español accomplished a historic feat and eliminated Tigre from the Argentine Cup, despite a difference of five categories

Central Spanish plays in the last tier of Argentine football, Primera D. Its players, who are not professionals, they train in the morning but have to work in the afternoon, to survive in this fluctuating Argentina. You don’t even have your own pitch ‘Gallego’, who started the year with a summer postcard to remember: eliminated Tigre (five categories above) from the Argentine Cupafter drawing 1-1 and beating on penalties to advance to the round of 16.

The lowest category team had the first minute and fatal peak after the initial whistle, but managed to recover and at times even manage the game time. He didn’t let Matador play and got to his height. That’s how he managed to equalize in the second half and held up very well when the coach Diego Martinez He moved the bank and put in a tank to try and settle the match.

The last 25 minutes were for Tigre, but despite the headlines entry he made a save, he couldn’t. Team D played with the strong leg, as if it hadn’t been televised. El Gallego went to penalties with spirit above his rival, who didn’t understand why they hadn’t achieved victory in the regulation 90.

The opening scoreboard belongs entirely to Tigre: Central Español does not touch the ball and, as if it were a formality, Badaloni scores the 1 – 0. If the VAR was there, the tie would be measured. But Senn stops the ball with his cue, controls it and defines with class. A goal from another category.

The Professional League squad added all-color chances, but scored none. Not even Retegui, who was on fire at the start of the season, was able to convert his options in front of goal.

With the draw it goes inexorably to penalties. The definition was very good by Gallego: everything insideexcept that of goalkeeper Benítez, who had the definition at his feet, because he had been in charge of covering Retegui’s first shot, and sending him to the stands.

The one-on-one definition didn’t last long: Montoya missed his and Central Español was left with the pass for the next phase which will be resolved with Defense and Justice.
