Barracas Central advances in the Argentine Cup thanks to penalties and another controversy requested by all of San Miguel

All matches of Central Barracks I’m under the magnifying glass. And the end of regulation time this Wednesday against San Miguel for the 32nd Argentine Cup final they were no exception. The team of Professional Leaguebut also a controversy that quickly flooded social networks: the entire ‘Trueno Verde’, its rival from First Nationalhe claimed a penalty on a play at the end of the match which was not sanctioned.

The point of controversy occurred in the 86th minute at the Alfredo Beranger Stadium in Temperley: Catriel Sanchez He stole the ball coming out of the Buenos Aires team and, when he entered the area, he received a push from behind from Alex Juarez. For the referee Gariano it is not an infringement.

Subsequently, Guapo was 100% effective in penalties and eliminated San Miguel at the Alfredo Beranger Stadium. After a dull 0-0 in the 90 minutes, the team led by Alejandro Orfila did not waste the opportunity, goalkeeper Marceli Miño excelled when he should have and qualification for the round of 16 went to the team from the Professional League, who will face Central rosary.

The 0-0 at the end of the first half can only be explained by the lack of effectiveness of both teams in the final metres. Barracas Central had two chances from the feet of their marker Ramón Ábila, who failed when he had to define against Joaquín Pucheta. His opponent, a little more introverted and with the clear intention of becoming stronger in every counterattack, lacked depth in the final meters and failed when he had to resolve in the rival’s goal.

Little changed in the second half at the Alfredo Beranger stadium. El Guapo maintained control of the ball and had some approaches to open the scoring and avoid penalties, which ended in judgement. On the San Miguel side, the best was seen at the feet of Nahuel Luján, always incisive and committed to leading his team’s attacks despite him not finding players who could define themselves against the rival goalkeeper.

San Miguel began the definition with strength and determination, but Facundo Melivilo, finalist with Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero in 2019, missed his shot and his hopes began to collapse. In front of him he had a team that hit every shot and a goalkeeper like Marcelo Miño who appeared when he had to give the classification to his team. Barracas advances with suspense and is still alive in the double competition.
