The deflection on a defender was right in front of the goal, at the request of any striker. Matias Suarez, who had entered with a quarter of an hour to go, did not hesitate and defined. The second additional minute was played and River unleashed a zero to zero that at that point seemed unchangeable in the classic disputed in Avellaneda. Independiente was left with all the anger.
The fairest thing would have been a draw. The development had been balanced. Independiente had some clear situations, especially in the first half. However, he lowered the level a bit in the final part. There River was something superior. He got angry because they didn’t whistle a clear against Miguel Borja. Until he managed to draw the 1-0 that made Marcelo Gallardo smile.
It happened on Sunday that Julio Falcioni returned to lead Independiente. This is the Emperor’s third spell at the club. El Rojo is experiencing an underlying political and economic crisis, which forced the leadership to call elections. “We are not happy, but we are satisfied,” said Falcioni, who will have the challenge of rescuing football.
San Lorenzo threw a party at the New Gasometer, almost full. First, he paid tribute to Jacobo Urso, 100 years after his death, an icon of the Boedo club, a player who literally gave up his life for the Barça colors. Later, although they played quite well and deserved to win, the Cuervos remained 0-0 against an alternative Estudiantes who kept their best players for the Copa Libertadores.
In addition, Huracán beat Aldosivi 1-0 in Mar del Plata, with a penalty goal by Franco Cristaldo in the 87th minute. The other game on Sunday was the 0-0 between Newell’s and Colón. Today the 12th date will close with two proposals: Central Córdoba – Defense and Justice and Tigre – Rosario Central.
The table of positions places Atlético Tucumán as the only leader with 25 points. Gimnasia has 24. Unión is third with 21, followed by Racing, Argentinos and Huracán with 20. Then, with 18 units, River, Boca, Patronato, Godoy Cruz and Platense appear.
