The midfielder Claudius Aquino From a penalty, 40 minutes into the first half, he scored the winning goal for the Liniers team.
Vélez began the match with ambition and a possessive, sharp and leading game, to leave no doubt in the public’s mind that reaching the final of the Argentine Cup would not be an issue for the Professional League to lose focus.
Although his actions were encouraging at the José Amalfitani stadium, as the minutes went by his level began to decline against a Sarmiento who did not propose much and was a faithful reflection of his present, in which he was fighting to maintain the category until The AFA suspended the relegations.
When everything was uncertain and his public became desperate (since his pursuers were pressing him), the referee Nicolás Ramírez sanctioned a penalty for handball inside the area in favor of Vélez and Aquino, with a shot to be placed -but with just enough- He opened the scoring before the end of the first act.
Already in the complement, history repeated itself, Gustavo Quinteros’ team managed the threads of the match, but lacked ideas and depth in the last meters to extend the advantage.
