Sarmiento, who at the same time is fighting to get away from the relegation zone, achieved his sixth victory in the Cup with goals scored by Yair Arismendi and Julián Brea, while the goalkeeper Joshua Ayala against he gave the goal to Varela’s men.
The team led by Israël Damonte He was very effective and took advantage of the defensive flaws that Defense and Justice have been showing in this tournament, but he also worked the game, was compact and had a great commitment from his players.
For locals, Damonte arranged for the quick recovery of the ball and for the midfielders to throw it towards Javier Toledo Y Jonathan Torreswhile Beccacece opted for his high pressure, opening the court with the wings and relying on the lethal attacking trident Bou-Merentiel-Rotondi.
The “Falcon” added players in attack with the rise of their midfielders and sides, so they doubled the locals. This is how the first opportunities appeared for these two teams with good proposals. Walter Bou and Francisco Pizzini they made Ayala work and Toledo did the same with Unsain.
Having the court wide open paid off for Defense and Justice: at 31 minutes Kevin Gutiérrez hit Rotondi with a ball, who returned to play like an old left winger, went deep and threw a low center looking for Merentiel, but between Ayala and the defenders put her inside.
Sarmiento He continued to attack and be aggressive, so he was able to equalize a few minutes later when Toledo and Arismendi won a ball and the side overflowed and put in a low cross for Brea to push it at the far post.
And when the discount of the initial stage was played, Sarmiento had a free kick that cleared the visiting defense but it was captured by Arismendi, who from outside the area hit a very strong right hand and nailed it at an angle, giving the locals the partial victory.
In the second half, Beccacece decided to reinforce control of the ball in his midfield and tried to go over Sarmiento, but it was a weak afternoon for Bou, Pizzini and Rotondi; Damonte arranged the lines and sought for his team to be compact and without much distance, but without giving up the goal of the rival goal.
Towards the end of the match, Defense pushed Sarmiento against Ayala and pressed, but only at 44m did he have an opportunity when Pizzini, clearly offside, put a cross to the near post that Merentiel introduced into the local goal.
The referee, Leandro Rey Hilfer, annulled the goal as the VAR confirmed the forward position of the visiting striker.
The match had a ten-minute discount due to the substitutions and the times that VAR had to be consulted in the second half, but Sarmiento’s defense and his midfielders cleared the crosses that Varela’s team launched to seek a tie.
