At the Diego Maradona stadium in the La Paternal neighborhood, Florencio Varela’s team won with a violent shot from Thomas Galvan (St. 46m.), when the match was already expired.
With this triumph, the cast that directs Sebastian Beccacece achieved its fourth success in a row and retained its leadership in zone A, along with River Plate and Unión de Santa Fe.
For its part, the group led by Gabriel Millito He stayed with 8 units, for now outside the batch of classified for the quarterfinals of the LPF Cup.
In the first period, within a context of parity, Argentine Juniors he moved the ball better and took better advantage of the empty spaces, although it was difficult for him to deliver the last stitch and generate continuous danger towards the Unsain fence.
The chances of scoring were reduced, in this way, to shipments from the sides looking for the heads of players that could appear in the rival area.
Thus the surprising Kevin MacAllister put in a header that was well controlled by the visiting goalkeeper, while Nicholas Renier he deflected the header from a propitious position.
Defense and JusticeContrary to his football precepts, he could not stand on the sides and -directly- he did not manage to disturb Federico Lanzillotta, without even finishing off the goal.
In the second period, the panorama did not change too much. Only that Florencio Varela’s “Halcón” began to liven up a little more, with the incursions of Francis Pizzini from the right.
A header from the Uruguayan Michael Merentiel (8m.) that went high was the first serious approach on the night of La Paternal for the team of Sebastian Beccacece.
But the mirage was short-lived, because Argentine Juniors managed to recover the slight domain, from the overflows of the Uruguayan Javier Cabrera by right.
Thus came the clearest chance of the entire game, when the Uruguayan went to the bottom and sent a center that the Paraguayan connected endorsements in popcorn The ball went just wide, when the goalkeeper Unsain did not arrive.
With the passing of the minutes, that pressure from “Bug” decreased, Defense and Justice settled better on the field and equality appeared as a logical corollary, from the few merits that one and the other built, beyond the auspicious previous omens.
But, about the hour, the last chip of the casino in Maradona smiled at Defense and Justice. Playmaker Galván put a sablazo into the corner (46m.), after a clearance by Agustín Fontana (who seemed to start in an advanced position) and the visiting team won a bigger prize than expected.
Defense and Justice will be measured on Monday 21, at 7:15 p.m., with Arsenal, in the interzonal match of the seventh day. While that same day, but from 9:30 p.m., Argentinos Juniors will receive Vélez Sarsfield, in another long-standing neighborhood duel.
