San Lorenzo drew quickly against Central, but could not take advantage of the winning momentum against Racing

The day is deceiving. The sun comes after Santa Rosa, but the wind is shaking. However, only at the end of the game does it Cyclone. The draw arrives immediately and becomes threatening with a few bursts, but Gaspar Servio’s goal does not end. It’s just child’s play Nahuel Barrios, Agustín Martegani, admitted in the second half, or Nicolás Fernández Mercau in the pure center.

Therefore, those points he distributes in the New Gasometer have a better taste for Rosario Central, who plays with a piberío in which Facundo Buonanotte stands out and doesn’t have much else. To such an extent that Carlos Tevez had made only one change due to an injury in the first half and moved the bench again only in the additional fourth minute. A whole message from the coach scoundrel.

And what did Rubén Darío Insúa propose? After winning the classic against Racing with a strategy that prioritized order, cutting space and counterattack, the Galician It was clear to him that he should have been the protagonist of Bajo Flores. So, he made some changes. And he ended up playing with the same names he used in the final leg of the match in Avellaneda. With Jalil Elías on the right wing, Gonzalo Maroni in the center and Andrés Vombergar as a winger. All in unusual positions.

With no Barrios on the far left, a place occupied by Ezequiel Cerutti, or Agustín Giay on the right side, San Lorenzo has lost its blast. And firmness in the central circle, as well as the presence of the impeccable Juan Méndez. Maroni started very far from the area. And even if the Barça coach tried to get him off to a better start thanks to Cordovan’s technique, it wasn’t the right decision. The hitch lost many balls which led to reruns of Rosario which, in any case, did not bother Augusto Batalla.

In this context, Rosario Central was favored. Aboard a 4-1-4-1, Tevez’s team he was disciplined and stopped the game too short. Sometimes close to your area. Neither of Maroni’s two free throws reached their destination. When Nicolás Fernández Mercau went wide, Adam Bareiro won with a header in the box and his shot went just wide. The Paraguayan had another one, from the corner of Cordovan who wore the shirt of Boca. He failed to hit the ball hard and his volley died in the hands of Gaspar Servio.

Tevez bets on the quarry – smoked with some experts -, which shows great enthusiasm and to a good goodnight. At just 17, the Pérez-born boy, who had already had Brighton’s eye on the Premier League, faced and tried from mid-range, albeit without aiming. The power plant tried outside, but it overflowed little or nothing. Lautaro Blanco almost attacks and the most pungent is Ignacio Malcorra, but he does not weigh in the rival area. Not even Alejo Véliz, Marco Ruben’s successor. Ismael Cortez’s injury forced him to return to Damián Martínez and Gino Infantino joined the midfielders.

Insúa wasted no time. He realized he had badly re-launched the game and went back to the sources. Maroni and Vombergar left and Giay and Barrios entered. Elías passed the center and Cerutti parked on the right. However, the San Lorenzo could not be as aggressive as it had to be. The game was still stuck, rubbed, very physical.

Then Buonanotte steals the ball from Fernández Mercau and Véliz faces him, scored by Cristian Zapata who rushes to cover his teammate and ends up grabbing the shirt and destabilizing the boy. Facundo Tello returned and marked the Colombian’s infraction. Y Nacho Malcorra held a master class on how to take a free kick. With a caress of her left foot she pinned her to the corner, even though it looked like Battle had done what he could.

Martegani and Iván Leguizamón were already preparing to take the field when a Fernández Mercau free kick arrived and Federico Gattoni made a surprise appearance to hit him straight and defeat Servio. The VAR has revised the game. Did Gastón Hernández want to participate? The central defender started in an advanced position. The captain, on the other hand, was qualified. And Tello ended up validating the tie.

There weren’t any more of those two plays. Subsequently, Barrios’ southpaw was not encouraged. Any change of front or cross center found no response from Bareiro in the area. And San Lorenzo was unable to exploit the momentum of the sensational victory against Racing, just when they dared to fight in the lead.
