Date 12 of this season of the Professional League It will be remembered as the most boring so far. Is that, between the matches that took place on Saturday and Sunday, they have accumulated in total just seven goals in nine games. A very low figure for the statistics that the contest has been dragging on since it started in January.
For quick reference, as of date 11, the number of goals was 31. A good number for the 14 games that are played every weekend. And if you go back another day, in the top 10, you can see 40 goals, the highest scoring figure in the entire tournament.
The worst date in terms of goals, up to now, had been date 3. That day, 24 goals were converted, a number that was not even the best, but which contrasted very sharply with that of this date. Sure, It is necessary to remember that there are still five games to play this Monday: Platense-Colón (4.30 pm); Banfield-Central Córdoba (19:00); Sarmiento-Arsenal (19:00); Atlético Tucumán-Rosario Central (21:30) and Godoy Cruz-Lanús (21:30).
Belgrano, the date marker
The highest ranked team so far on this 12 date has been Belgrano. And it’s fun because they beat Gimnasia de La Plata by just two goals. With those two goals, converted by Pablo Vegetti, it was enough for the Pirate to be, so far, the top scorer in these 9 games played.
Lest we end up as the worst fixture of all, in Monday’s remaining five games, there should be at least 18 goals. A very high number for the number of duels that remain to be played. It seems impossible, but at least we will have to see if there is a general improvement in the teams’ offensive –several with an eye on the matches for the international cups they will have during the week, it is worth mentioning- to recover, a little, the statistics.
