The first setback of the Argentine Cup: Miter of Santiago del Estero removes Belgrano from Córdoba with controversy

As part of the a Argentine Cup which since its return in 2012 has provided great surprises, Miter of Santiago del Estero I added another one by breaking down this Wednesday Belgrano of Cordoba at the Eva Perón stadium in Junín. The Santiago team, which debuted in the First National with a home victory against San Telmo, eliminated the First Division team 2-1 and advanced to the 16th round. at the end of the competition, where the winner of the intersection between Unión and Gimnasia de Mendoza awaits.

In injury time in the first half, when the 0-0 seemed to be the story of the first 45 minutes, Penalty by David Romero It gave the advantage to those led by Joaquín Sastre, who from there gained confidence and peace of mind. There had been an offside in the previous play, but both referee Andrés Gariano and his assistant had ignored it and they added a new refereeing error to a day healed by the horror of the one experienced with Deportivo Riestra and Comunicación on the Temperley pitch. They went 1-0 at halftime.

That goal, which came after a definition in which goalkeeper Nahuel Losada had sensed Romero’s intention but was unable to realize it, was a mental boost for Mitre, who dominated Belgrano in the first minutes of the match and reached 2 -0.

What do I say goal, another great goal, an old storyteller would say. Cristian Díaz, the right back, found him inside the area Franco Posse and the attacker defined the right corner of Losada’s goal first, something he would not have been able to do. Like Lautaro Martinez. Thus, after 60 minutes of play, the 2-0 seriously complicates the Pirate of Cordoba.

From there, as time passed, the First National Team began to play with the tranquility of the result and retreated onto the field, letting in their rival, who with greater urgency took on the role of protagonist of the match and imposed the conditions.

The discount of Juan Barinaga, who appeared behind everyone on the right to sweep and connect a cross from Bryan Reyna into the goal, sowing hope in those led by Guillermo Farré, but it was nothing more than that.

In the end, Miter of Santiago del Estero withstood a result based on order, sacrifice and defensive discipline and achieved a much celebrated victory against a Belgrano who had started the Professional League Cup without victories (one draw and two defeats) and now added a new shot. On Saturday, at 9.30pm in Córdoba, he will try to start the revolt against Godoy Cruz.
