Walter Bou and Nicolás Tripicchio put “Halcón” ahead in the first half, and Miguel Merentiel increased in the second. Near the end he discounted Marco Collao Ramos for the local.
Florencio Varela’s men, as is their custom, appeared on the field determined to take center stage with their vertical, intense game with high pressure, which immediately bothered the host.
In this way, ‘Defe’ soon took the lead when Carlos Rotondi put pressure on defender Andrés Robles, from whom he stole the ball and then sent the cross to assist, as is his specialty, Walter Bou, who knew how to control the ball and take a high and violent shot to beat goalkeeper Diego Sánchez (10 min).
Those led by Sebastián Beccacece continued with their game idea until Antofagasta, after the first quarter of an hour, managed to balance the actions and encouraged themselves to prosper in attack.
Then, Defense withdrew to control those attacks and rehearse counterattack replicas, as they know how to do, so much so that in one of them, with three passes, they came to widen the score.
In one of the arrivals of the Chilean team, with many people, Bou emerged in the visiting area in a defensive function to seize the ball and after advancing a few meters he gave way to Miguel Merentiel’s left sprint, who upon reaching the other area He stopped and put a low cross for Tripicchio’s arrival from the opposite sector, which he defined with a violent shot to the left by Sánchez (29 min).
After that perfect counterattack, the Buenos Aires team did not give up what they do best: attack and continuous pressure. That is why until the end of the initial stage he had more opportunities to increase the difference.
Those led by Juan Domingo Tolisano, without ideas or order, were not enough with their impetus and fervor to control the outstanding performance of the adversary.
A couple of offensive changes that the Venezuelan coach tried to go for the discount for the Chilean squad were not enough either, because as soon as they could, the Argentine team put into practice a sample of what they work on in training.
He demonstrated this with the third goal very similar to the second: recovery of the ball by Bou, advance and transfer to the left this time to Rotondi, the latter’s center so that Merentiel arrived through the middle, with the difference that the scorer defined below (12 min). In the previous one, the right back converted from above.
From then on, the show that Florencio Varela’s group was able to offer did not change much. Except that Antofagasta pressed more for the discount at the end, which he got through Collao Ramos (38 min) and then a shot by Panamanian striker Gabriel Torres crashed into a post.
To all this, the winner had taken his foot off the accelerator a little because Beccacece had already made the five regulatory changes to preserve key players such as the three of the offensive (Bou, Merentiel and Rodondi), plus the midfielders Hugo Fernández and Raúl Loaiza with view of the comparison with Talleres, from Córdoba.
Precisely, the squad of the `Halcón’ will fly from Chile directly to the Mediterranean province, to prepare their next match there for the ninth round of the LPF Cup, which will play next Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
As for the second date of the South American, Defense and Justice will receive Goianiense, from Brazil, on Tuesday 12 at 9:30 p.m., and on the same day and time Antofagasta will visit Liga Deportiva de Quito.
