East Mouth who had gone 15 games undefeated, a comfortable leader without a good game but with convincing numbers, was left with one more man with an hour to go. At 34 in the first half, Newell’s suffered the expulsion of Juan Sforza. At that point, they tied zero to zero in Rosary beads. Nothing foreshadowed that the xeneizes, with such an advantage, would collapse… However, that happened. And now the closure of the Argentine league becomes more attractive, because the uncertainties are multiplied and because morbidity also appears on the scene with a brutal dose.
Mouth (48 points) fell 0-2 against Newell’s and this Tuesday could lose the lead if Racing (47 units) beat Lanús, penultimate today. Of course, the xeneizes still have to play the pending match with Gymnastics on Wednesday and will regain the leadership if they win it. Then, on the weekend, it will be time for the last date, with two classics to collect: Boca – Independiente and Racing-River. There the suspicions will dance at will…
Will Rojo give up everything for victory knowing that it could make it easier for the Academy, its classic rival, to win the championship? The fans of Independiente, after yesterday’s 1-0 victory against banfield, fired their players demanding that “on Sunday no matter what it costs you have to win.” The weekend will see…
If this scenario led to it, it was because Mouth the result was missing. It did not exhibit a convincing or oiled performance, almost a constant in recent times. He had some mistakes on defense and this time Agustin Rossi, savior so many other times, failed to draw any decisive save. On top of that, in attack, he couldn’t squeeze out a handful of chances that he generated…
How could he have played badly? Mouth who did not manage to impose himself even playing an hour with a player more than Newell’s. Rosario hit the first blow at a key moment, in minute one of the second half. It is like Mouth I would have come in asleep. Luis Advíncula left a short pass. Juan Manuel García took her, he beat her by locking Facundo Roncaglia, ran and defined without hesitation. Later, at 35 of that final stage, Willer Ditta he jumped alone and headed in the second.
A clear example of how much the match cost Mouth is that Hugo Ibarra ended up changing the entire midfield. Not even the team reacted with the halftime change, with the entry of Sebastián Villa (the striker who returned after 49 days) for Carlos Zambrano (advocate). The lack of rhythm of the Colombian attacker was noted.
The big unknown now is how much this unexpected defeat will hit Mouth. How far will it hurt? Ibarra was confident when he was asked for a message: “Anyone has a stumble. We still depend on ourselves. It is the only message. To turn the page.”
