Vélez couldn’t beat Belgrano, but he still maintains the top alone

Velez and Belgrano They tied 1 to 1 in Liniers, on date 19 of the Professional League. Fortín managed to rescue a point at home, where they remain undefeated in the tournament, and maintain the lead eight days from its end. With the tie, they stretched their advantage to four points over Huracán, the only guard that will play this Monday against Central Córdoba.

All fronts suit Vélez, one of the best teams in Argentina, displaying that game that took them to the top of the championship. Their rivals are playing the game of their lives against the leader, and Fortín’s second consecutive draw is no coincidence: everyone wants to get behind the leader. However, those from Liniers do not shrink, and they go. His leadership remains strong, date after date.

The Vélez fans were settling in at the Amalfitani, when they received a splash of cold water. At 4′ of the first half, in an overflow from the right by Gabriel Compagnucci and after a precise cross, Nicolás “Uvita” Fernández nailed a left-footed volley, unstoppable by goalkeeper Tomás Marchiori.

Thus, Belgrano surprised everyone with his voracious game, and after 1-0 he went against the score. Vélez, still stunned by the early goal, looked for an equalizer and turned Paraguayan goalkeeper Juan Espínola into a figure. To highlight, the play at the end of the first half where the pirate striker Francisco González Metilli almost increased the difference with a shot that hit the goal post twice.

Coach Gustavo Quinteros reset his players at halftime, and for the second stage the championship leader came out to play. Proof of this was the great goal by Thiago Fernández, for the local team to be equal, with a previous collective play made in Fortín.

Those led by Juan Cruz Real were not the same as the first half. They gave up the ball and the point seemed to close them against a championship leader who sought, without many ideas, a victory that never came. Neither Claudio Aquino, nor Francisco Pizzini, nor Braian Romero were fine for the final score and the tie was a reality.

In this way, Vélez continues to fight both in the Professional League and in the Argentine Cup, where it is in the semifinals and will have to face Boca. For the domestic tournament, Fortín will visit Argentinos Juniors next Friday on the 20th, while Belgrano will be home in Córdoba against Defensa y Justicia, on Saturday, November 2.
