The only goal of the match, played on the Huracán pitch, was scored by Tomás Pozzo at 27m of the complement.
A streak of three consecutive victories was cut short for Barracas, which began with the arrival of Alfredo Berti as its technical director. The “Rojo”, who came from an opaque victory on penalties over Central Norte de Salta for the Argentine Cup, recovered from the result of the painful local setback in the classic with Racing.
The first time was weak but, of the two, the one that left the most worrying image was Independiente. He just got closer to 45m with a header from Benegas that Gagliardo took out, like those boxers who try to improve before the eyes of the jury in the last seconds of the round after being dominated.
Because, in effect, the best plays were made by Barracas, including two very clear ones: a shot by Sepúlveda inside the area that went wide and a header by Glaby that grazed the right post of Uruguayan Sebastián Sosa’s goal.
Alfredo Berti’s team was always more judicious and orderly and had or tried to better circulate the ball. Independiente barely resorted to shooting from a distance to find the gap.
Rodríguez and Togni tried, without direction; and Roa, whose shot was held by the Barracas goalkeeper.
The initial stage also left two goals disallowed, one per team, both after a successful VAR intervention.
The second half looked worse, because it was just as even as the previous one but, now, without risk in front of the goals. In this context, Barracas was still better. Until Avellaneda’s team, which looked lost, took advantage of a rival error.
The “Guapo” made a mistake at the start, Roa took it, followed by Romero with a good assist to the center of the area and Tozzo defined it with an empty goal in the 27th minute. After that there was no more.
Not even Barracas, always worthy, had the resources for a draw; nor did Independiente have them to increase the difference. The three points traveled to Avellaneda. The biggest concern too.
On the next date, the ninth, still with a date and time to be confirmed, Barracas Central will visit Huracán and Independiente will receive Tigre at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Bochini.
