From the beginning of the game, Banfield felt uncomfortable on the field in the face of the better disposition of the local team, which quickly knew how to control actions with possession of the ball.
La Calera began to arrive with risk concerns for goalkeeper Enrique Bologna, such as the one generated in an outstanding collective maneuver that culminated in Argentine striker Lucas Passerini’s qualification for his compatriot Sáez, who defined with a high, crossed shot adjusted to the left post to mark the opening, at 10 minutes.
Thus, the 37-year-old striker from Santiago, with stints at Central Córdoba, from Santiago del Estero and Talleres, from Córdoba, scored goal 204 in his long career, with incursions into the leagues of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Due to the advantage, the dominance of those led by the Argentine coach and sports journalist Martín Anselmi and with Thomás Rodríguez -who started at Banfield- as an offensive midfielder, became more noticeable against an opponent who could not counteract him and who only tried to disturb him with sporadic ill-defined incursions.
While at the end of the first episode, with a personal maneuver, Passerini was about to make more difference for the Chilean squad by defining with a low shot to the right corner of Bologna, which he managed to deflect at the corner kick.
The demands of both attackers from La Calera continued with the wallowing of the visiting goalkeeper in the first section of the second half, when the ‘Drill’ tried changes in an attempt to balance the actions in the midfield.
Which did not give him much results because it barely allowed him to generate a couple of arrivals in which the goalkeeper from Entre Ríos Ignacio Arce knew how to contain the shot by Juan Manuel Cruz and a header by Julián Eseiza.
What could have given him a chance to match the Buenos Aires team was the penalty that they did not give him for a handball by Christián Vilches, in the second period. Although it would have been too much of a prize because the Chilean was always much more in all the development.
