Instituto de Córdoba and Atlético Tucumán matched this Friday, 1-1 in a match of the seventh date of the Professional Football League (LPF) played in Alta Córdoba, where the local cast played the entire complement with one less man due to the expulsion of defender Ezequiel Parnisari.
Gabriel Graciani scored for “Gloria” in the first half and Mateo Coronel did it for “Dean” in the second half
The Córdoba team lost the chance to enter, at least temporarily, in the lot of the escorts of the leaders San Lorenzo and Defensa y Justicia, although they have three games without defeats and reached 10 units.
The cast from Tucumán has not yet achieved good performances and neither results: with six points it remains in the lower zone of the table and only has one victory in seven presentations.
The local team was vastly superior in the first half, in which, if it weren’t for the good work of rival goalkeeper Tomás Marchiori, the advantage could have been larger.
It is that the “Dean’s” guard saved his team from a header from Graciani, later he prevented his fence from falling before a great free kick from Santiago Rodríguez, and when the game was 1-0, he covered Adrián Martínez which would have been the second cry of ‘Glory’.
Graciani’s goal came halfway through the first half, and after a series of rebounds that were found behind the wheel in the small area and he pushed into the net for the celebration of the more than 22,000 fans who completed the Monumental de Alta Córdoba.
The expulsion of the admitted Ezequiel Parnisari, at the end, was the negative point for those led by DT Lucas Bovaglio in that initial stage, because that dominance that he showed in the first 45 minutes was threatened by numerical inferiority.
The DT ‘albirrojo’ quickly rearmed the defense, sent the youthful Joaquín Varela to the field and resigned attack, substituting Brahian Cuello, a creative man in the left sector of midfield.
And that expulsion from the Institute center ended up conditioning the process in the complement, because DT Lucas Pusineri was right with the changes. Renzo Tesuri and Marcelo Estigarribia performed well, so as the minutes passed and with control of the game, the visitor began to deserve a draw.
And he arrived at 23 minutes with a very good definition from Coronel, who appeared without a mark behind the local defense and with a subtle touch on Jorge Carranza made it 1-1, so much so that the referee Sebastián Zunino validated at the request of the VAR, who reviewed a possible forward position.
The homeowner matched the procedure after equality, although in those final minutes neither of them had clarity or depth to disturb the goal in front and the result seemed to please both, because of how the development took place and because of the expulsion of the defender ‘albirrojo’.
