Humble Atlético Tucumán took another successful step in a remarkable campaign and asserted itself as leader of the 2022 Professional League of Argentine soccer by comfortably beating Barracas Central 4-0, in one of the matches played on Tuesday, with which the fifteenth date was completed.
The Albiceleste Dean put together a party in Tucumán with a fantastic task, and celebrated with goals from Cristian Menéndez (21), who opened the account with a beautiful Chilean, Ramiro Ruiz Rodríguez (49), Joaquín Pereyra (59) and Mateo Coronel (90+2), who scored a jewel from 67 meters, seeing the rival goalkeeper advanced.
With a team without renowned figures, DT Lucas Pusineri formed a solid team, that he barely lost a game and only conceded 6 goals in 15 games, and that he became strong as his rivals stumbled in the midst of the generalized irregularity.
With this victory, Atlético Tucumán now has 32 points and now leads Gimnasia y Esgrima by three units (29), his closest follower, who tied 0-0 at home with Aldosivi, and five away over the third Huracán and Argentinos Juniors.
The leader of the championship will face another good exam on Sunday, when he will have to visit Boca Juniors in La Bombonera, in the most important meeting of the sixteenth date.
Gymnastics, as a local, faced one of the teams with the worst season, but he did not play well and had to settle for a 0-0 with little flavor, which leaves him further from the leader, although he managed to stay in the second step of the table.
Earlier, Argentinos had the opportunity to stay close to the leader, but they barely managed to salvage a point from their visit to the brave Patronatowith whom he drew 0-0, in a match dominated by the red-and-black player from Paraná, who squandered the chance of victory in the 90th minute, when the Argentinos goalkeeper, Federico Lanzillotta, saved a penalty from Estigarribia.
