One out of necessity and the other out of obligation, the concrete thing was that the pointer Estudiantes and the ninth from Zone 2, Velez Sarsfield, presented alternative formations for this momentous match that from then on became lackluster from end to end.
The one who had several casualties for his participation in the previous phases of the Copa Libertadores was Students, who comes from laboriously leaving the Chilean Italian Audax on the road and now he will have to play the ticket to the group stage against his compatriot Everton.
Instead for Velez and its technical director, Mauricio Pellegrinothe obligation was given by the number of injuries that forced him, for example, to produce the absolute debut in the second half of the youth of the fourth division Abel Osorioson of that forward of Argentinos Juniors and Talleres, from Córdoba, Aldo Osorio.
And within that framework, the one who had a slight advantage in the game was the host, further boosted by Lucas Janson’s early headed goal that gave him spiritual and consequently physical energy to trap the good team he leads in his web. Ricardo Zielinsky.
That is why the synthesis of the first half showed a fair winner who was Velez, before a Students that with his weapons, which go through practicality, the adjustment of spaces and direct play, he went after the tie with a commendable calm, without ever falling into despair.
Because “Pincha” was not rushed during the final half hour of that first half nor during practically the entire second half, since the student parity would also arrive head first when there were two minutes left to complete the regular 90.
By then it had been a long time Zielinsky had begun to burn the boats with the income of some key holders in its game structure such as the goal scorer, the player from Tucuman Leandro Díaz, together with Mauro Boselli, Gustavo Del Prete and Fernando Zuqui.
“Pincha” relied on them to achieve an equality that proved for what was done in the second stage and allowed him to remain undefeated at the top of Zone 2, leaving Velez well outside the quartet that is qualifying for the quarterfinals of the contest.
“We knew that we didn’t have to lose to a very tough rival like Vélez. I’m doing well in Estudiantes because they trusted me and put up with me when I was sick in the head, with depression, the doctors treated me here and I got ahead But this issue is complicated when you don’t tell about it and because of those who helped me here I was able to get ahead”stressed striker Diaz with his heart in his hand.
And this was a sample of what Estudiantes is, pure optimism and willpower to get ahead of the difficult ones (they lost the first leg with Audax Italiano 1-0 and turned it around with another goal from Díaz at the end for the 2-0 ), just like Diaz from Tucuman.
