Platense accumulated eight consecutive games without winning in the competition with this defeat, which had caused the departure of coach Miguel Spontón two days ago, replaced by Omar De Felippe, who was expelled today at halftime for protesting to referee Ariel Penel.
For its part, Gymnastics returned to add three points for the second consecutive time as a visitor and this time its coach, Néstor Gorosito, was largely responsible for the victory because he read the match well in the previous one and placed fast players like Johan Carbonero, the figure from the field, Cristian Tarragona, Eric Ramírez and Ramón Sosa, to take advantage of the slow decline of the “squid” team.
And this already began to bear fruit five minutes into the first half, when Nicolás Morgantini committed the first penalty against Eric Ramírez which, through VAR, turned Tarragona into a goal.
This would be repeated at 37 minutes, but the player was the Paraguayan Sosa, who converted the left of goalkeeper Jorge De Olivera, who threw himself to the other side, to score the former Olimpia his first goal in Argentine soccer. The offender was Juan Infante on Carbonero.
And like a good bullfighter, “Tripero” finished off the task as soon as the complement began, at 8 minutes, with another counterattack that ended in a perfect assist from Carbonero to Ramírez so that he converted his second goal in the tournament. Then he was injured.
From then until the end Gimnasia managed the timing of the game and its goalkeeper, Rodrigo Rey, was not required as in some part of the first stage, so the foreseeable end came with the conformity of a Gimnasia that remains in expectation of jump to the group of four qualified for the quarterfinals, although he knows that three dates from the end of the group stage not everything depends on himself.
