Merlos studies the play that will end with Florentín’s ouster.
Ever since Andres Merlos started, the Argentinos Juniors and Tigers have played a game with teeth. It is that, who emerges the winner between the teams under the direction of Diego Martínez and Gabriel Milito, will play in the grand final of the Argentine League Cup.
After the first 15 minutes, during which the procedure did not leave the center of the field, Tigre began to dominate. First, when he ran Alexis Castro and defender Alexis Mac Allister fell to the ground as his feet moved forward to prevent danger. But there was a volley that Retegui bit and he was not allowed to score.
Those with Diego Martínez were closer until a step was made that would change the game. They were running for 35 minutes when Gabriel Florentín arrived at the wrong time and dealt a severe blow to Prediger that caused Andres Merlos to remind the Bicho player. But he called the VAR and, after reviewing the game, the referee removed the yellow card and showed him the red card.
And the dismissal was so decisive that, 10 minutes into the second half, Matthew Retegui took advantage of a pass between the lines, took a poisoned center and Castro (who caught the bitten ball), nailed it to an angle.
In this way, the performance of the VAR became decisive. But Florentín hit a massive kick in a part of the field where Castro’s departure was undecided. It’s a good thing he was kicked out.
