Game fought in La Plata between Students and Laboratories.
Leonardo Heredia’s goal, that left-footed volley that doubles Guido Herrera’s hands, was the relief for this La Plata corner. Precisely in that arc where the ball did not want to enter against Atlético Paranaense. And after the blow to the Libertadores, The students cut the streak to five winless games. Talleres, who also lived through his continental frustration, had the best chances in the first half. And when the eliminated duel was going from zero to zero, the throats exploded stings.
How many times can a pattern be changed? There is no limit, of course. Although it clearly indicates that the technician made a mistake in the initial approach. And this happened with Ricardo Zielinski in the first half hour of play, when he changed the 3-4-3 he had started to a 4-3-3 that ended up being 4-4-2 in a rotation of names. . The students were having a hard time with Talleres on either side. So, he delayed Manuel Castro on the right side and sent Jorge Morel to the center of the field. However, it was not the natural position of the Uruguayan. And when Enzo Díaz overcame the obstacles on the left, he sent Agustín Rogel from “4” and the Paraguayan was back in the rear. Leonardo Godoy, injured, was distinguished by his absence.
All these movements made it clear that Talleres had the upper hand. Especially for bands. And basically, on the right, a sector that exploded between Diego Valoyes and Gastón Benavídez and in which Emmanuel Más suffered. On board the 4-2-3-1 that proclaims Pedro Caixinha, the Cordobans were the protagonists. And even if they couldn’t kick between Mariano Andújar’s three sticks, they were the ones who finished the most.
He had three chances early on. Rodrigo Villagra pass due to the overflow of Enzo Díaz and left by Rodrigo Garro who misses just over the crossbar; a long pass by the same Díaz that Michael Santos headed for the assault of Benavídez who fired awkwardly and to the side; and another comedy they put together between Valoyes and Benavídez that Garro, from middle distance, just rocked out.
The students could not control the game. It lacked handling and play volume. Direct and vertical team, failed to take advantage of the long expedition. And Mauro Boselli and Leandro Díaz fought, especially the Tucumano, but they didn’t gravitate. About Crazy, he should have been expelled. After an infringement on Lucas Suárez, he was booked by Nicolás Lamolina and the forward clapped him in the face. It was a serious disrespect that the referee resolved with a speech.
Zielinsky reached the bank for the plugin. He gave way to a pure winger like Eros Mancuso (a central defender, Luciano Lollo came out) and, just in case, he replaced Díaz, who had miraculously saved himself from the red. Mauro Mendez entered. But he did not touch the tie with which he ended the first half.
And it balanced the game, even without a large game volume. Talleres gave ground and ball, but was always dangerous after the recovery of his two central midfielders, Villagra and Christian Oliva, and the deployment of Valoyes, after Julio Buffarini entered from the left. That yes, the students had the three clearest situations at that time, with cork Rodríguez fighting in the middle. Méndez enables Boselli, the scorer stings her before Herrera leaves and his shot hits the crossbar. Later, Mancuso overflows, slaps the goalkeeper and Fernando Zuqui heads to the base of the post. Benjamin Rollheiser came in for the faded Pablo Piatti, but he didn’t gravitate. And in the last lap, already with Francisco Zapiola on the field, Zuqui received from the boy, he finished on a cross, just wide.
But after so many changes, a plenary session of the Russian arrived, when Boselli had complained of his departure. Ultimately, Heredia ended up calling it a very tight game.
