The start of the championship did not have the best of its exponents for the first appointment. Central Barracks Y Central Cordoba they were the main players when the curtain rose on the new championship. The scenario was bleak: the Lanús camp where the Barracks team was present was not nearly empty. As if the context were not enough, the protagonist was the VAR.
The first half had emotions: situations, penalties and goals, a strong clash without fail, and a tremendous blow that inexplicably did not have a revision of the VAR. The center of Córdoba entered asleep or cold. Per minute of play Sepulveda He had his first situation in front of the goal: he covered the Chilean goalkeeper with his arm and Pereyra finished clearing the danger by giving up a corner kick.
By omission or use, video assistance for the referee was decisive. Already in the first goal he could have intervened: Sepúlveda – again – won Di Benedetto’s ball and placed himself in front of the goalkeeper, but before he could define the defender who had lost him he reached him and landed him in the area. Clear criminal warning and doubt: the attacker was in front of the goal, he was red. What did not hesitate was Ivan Tapiawho took charge of the shot and opened the scoring.
Although the game has lost intensity, the two teams have generated some situations. The game was interrupted for a moment by a violent confrontation between Saracho Y Renzo Lopez: The goalkeeper went out of the area to fend off with his foot and caught the weak and back striker, taking care of the pitch. terrible blow.
What he had no explanation was why he was not expelled Nicola Linares author of an indistinguishable ironing in times of VAR on Facundo Mater, who had irrefutable evidence of the caps rubbing on her thigh. Why didn’t anyone call Herrera if he was a red card game?
It is only in the second half that Herrera is called by Ezeiza: he goes on the screen to see a millimeter position to understand if the free hand of a defender was a penalty. And it was, but this time Tapia changed direction of the shot and Toselli deflected it. Neither the assistant nor the referee, nor anyone noticed that the goalkeeper was one meter ahead to avoid the goal.
Controversy aside, there was a football match, which ended in a draw because Renzo Lopez He put in a timely header before Saracho’s bad start. The game, all by Besozzi, who had 10 minutes on the pitch. With the VAR as the villain of the plot and an act for each protagonist, the curtain on the first date has gradually fallen with pleasure.
