Walter Mazzanti did everything with a different speed. Not only his great goal that made the whole Parque Patricios delirious on this Good Friday of the Professional League Cup, but also the unusual sending off he suffered, caught in the ecstasy that led him to convert against River in a key match for A’s confidence Hurricane who had started the season very badly and seems to re-emerge at the hands of Frank Darío Kudelka.
Mazzanti ran from mid-field, dominating a mischievous ball that bounced, it seemed, out of control, beating the Uruguayan Fonseca who was desperately chasing him but couldn’t reach him, despite having started the run a few meters ahead. When the 27-year-old forward came face to face with Franco Armani, he had the mental quickness to touch the ball just above the millionaire goalkeeper’s body and make it 1-0.
HE SCORED A GREAT GOAL AND WAS SENT OFF ⚽????

What happened from there can only be explained by football logic. Because Mazzanti had been booked by referee Leandro Rey Hilfer a few minutes ago when he tackled Enzo Díaz on the left of River’s attack.
Paradoxically it was the foul before the action for the Huracán goal, because Esequiel Barco left the center short and Franco Alfonso made a half scissors move to prevent the rebound from going wide, allowing the inbound run. Forrest Gump of Mazzanti.
