Sometimes it is not in the first, but in the second opportunity: Defense and Justice visited on Saturday Forest of the Plata face up to Gymnastics for the Professional League and lost. She returned four days later to measure herself Argentine Juniors from Argentine Cup, and this time he took the victory which allowed him to move on to the round of 16. Now wait rival – it will be River or Central Barracks.
The main thing, the goal, was the work of Kevin Gutierrez, who screamed for the first time since playing in the Falcona team still led by Sebastian Woodcockwho announced that he will no longer be the technical director at the end of 2022.
His departure has to do with the lack of reinforcements to replace the important exodus suffered by his team. The victory, however, demonstrates the coach’s ability to support the group with a competitive character: their owners are no longer the same as a handful of months ago and yet they didn’t look like a team in formation or substitutes.
With no new players, Beccacece decided to change his tactical scheme: Gaston Togni is the replacement of Carlo Rotondi and it performs like a wide open wing. Up front, the pressure is lower and the team, in general, has attenuated the rhythm that characterized it.
In the first 15 minutes the Defense surrounded the Insect Y Federico Lanzillota He must have intervened a couple of times. In his approach, the winner was quick and agile in his actions. In any case, Argentinos managed to match the actions and approached the area of Ezekiel Unsain.
The game that changed everything came in 37 minutes. Gabriele Alanis He accumulated rivals in the right sector, reached the bottom and passed the ball to Luca Albertengowhich pivots on Gutiérrez who enters the goal from the attack and beats Lanzillota with the right at the near post.

Beyond the definition of the midfielder – Lanzilotta also reacted late-, the key was in the position of Alanis. By placing him on the right, Beccacece created a problem for Milito, the southpaw took advantage of Bicho’s three-point line thanks to his long stride and sent excellent crosses.
In the second half the defense comes out better, which stands out after 10 minutes on the wall between Togni and Albertengo, culminating in a shot on goal that Lanzillota holds in two halves. He was close.
Argentinos tried the whole second half to tilt the pitch towards Unsain’s goal, but the defense was decided and then Milito pulled out forwards and attacking midfielders to introduce a mix of experienced players like Gabriel Carabajal and youthful self-confidence with Lautaro Ovando Y Gaston Veron.
But the lack of ideas and the absence of Gabriel Avalos It was a free kick for Argentinos, who failed to equalize the game and didn’t give Unsain much trouble.
