Defense and Justice and Vélez saved their emotions for the end and drew 1-1 in a flat match

Two minutes. Just an ounce of time. Only in that short time was there action in Florencio Varela. A couple of volleys, a goal in every goal and another story. All at the end of a party in which there was a lot to run and little to play. Defense and Justice and Velez have just raised the temperature of a too cold and discolored afternoon in the epilogue. And they were close at hand. In the end, the draw was the result that best adapted to the reality of these ninety minutes available.

They walk on different roads. While the Falcon is in transition turned into a sales club and with Sebastián Beccacece preparing his bags to leave in October, a renewed wind blows in Liniers. From the hand of Alexander Medina, the goal is the Libertadores and in front of him is one of the candidates: River. Thus, Cacique presented a team with few owners and many young players, with an average of eleven by 23 years.

However, far from the back and forth expected on Tito Tomaghello’s field, the first half was very short, with intensity, but without clarity. As a consequence of the context, the still ball was the only way to risk. Subsequently, there were no effective hits. Neither Defense and Justice, on board a 4-4-2 in which their two strikers (Agustín Fontana and Lucas Albertengo) did not hurt, nor Vélez, on a 4-2-3-1 in which Abiel Osorio, young , spearhead thrust, they managed to unbalance themselves.

And the complement had the same tenor. Defense and Justice start better, which at first finds a free kick near the area. Diego Rodríguez’s header passed very close to Lucas Hoyos’ gaze. However, the standard was very low. Until the technicians started moving the benches. And in the changes they have found solutions.

Nicolás Fernández has replaced Fontana and goes hand in hand with Hoyos. He was unable to resolve himself against the goalkeeper and sought a penalty that Nicolás Lamolina and VAR did not buy. The out side by Santiago Castro, warned by technology, canceled a goal that would have been a real product of Medina’s modifications. They united Nicolás Garayalde, the aforementioned young man, Lucas Janson and his namesake Pratto.

Immediately, Alexis Soto put in a long ball with the least able foot, the right one, Valentín Gómez miscalculated and grape Fernández, who had just been on the pitch, dominated with his chest and finished on Hoyos. A central defender narrowly missed with Diego Godín watching in the stands.

Local fans were still cheering for the goal when Garayalde collects a push from Nazareno Colombo in the crescent, latches onto his left profile and throws an unstoppable left foot for Ezequiel Unsain.

Nothing else happened. All compressed in those one hundred and twenty seconds. In short, football has a lot to exploit right now. Defense and Justice and Vélez took advantage of it. And they saved a point. Little to be proud of.
