The image can eventually be confusing. For the cry of Alex Vigo, taking off his shirt and celebrating as if it were not the famous and insignificant goal of honor. for the shot of nervous González, close to equalization, resolved by Ezequiel Unsain. Because the game ends up being played on the field of Defense and Justice. It’s a red spasm that, at this time of night, feels more like a surge of self-worth than a well-executed plan. After all, Halcón flew high until Kevin Gutiérrez was sent off and ended up asking for the time. But he played better and won.
And it has widened the wound inside, from the institutional crisis, and has sporting consequences. To such an extent that a technician (Eduardo Domínguez) has already been devoured and the provisional one (Claudio Graf) ends up betting on the guys he knows from the Reserve, from Santiago Hidalgo (17 years old) to Ramiro Lobo (20) and Sergio Ortiz (21) because the referrals are not up to par.
There was a good game of Defense and Justice, which showed dynamics, speed, triangulation and a direct game that led the Independiente midfielders to chase the ball. Some of Graf’s decisions are not explained. A point in favor of Domínguez had placed Lucas Romero as a midfielder on the right. In the double five with Iván Marcone he does not find himself. His partner is very slow and suffers from hips.
Later, Leandro Fernández fluctuated – pure will, but called them all wrong – and Juan Cazares. Bad for the Ecuadorian who lost a ball in attack and conceded a lethal counterattack by Defense and Justice. Gastón Togni had already shown hunger, wanting to make it clear that he was wrong to give up his services on the red pavement of the Avellaneda. And he put together a great play on the left, even though the resolution of Manuel Duarte, fast, forward, was superior: He pulled out an unassailable bomb that hit a corner.
The result in the first half was not up to par, apart from a couple of situations squandered by Fernandez and Alan Soñora, uncomfortable on the left. And in the complement, Sebastián Beccacece made a change that would have returned good results. He eliminates Fabricio Domínguez, sends Nicolás Fernández on the field and reconfigures the 4-1-4-1 to have a 4-2-3-1 with greater fluidity on the sides and firmness in the center. And the second came, the product of a wall between Uvita and Nicolás Tripicchio, winger or active midfielder, who received a kick from Lucas Rodríguez. Nazareno Arasa did not hesitate and neither did Adonis Frías. Penalty, low shot and 2 to 0.
The independent was harmless in the front and permeable in the back. The boys showed will, but little clarity. Gutiérrez was sent off and Vigo discounted. Little did it help. The Red he has lost 4 of the last 5 games and does not come out of the bottom.
