In the first half, Cristian Bernardi and Luis Miguel Rodríguez scored for the “Sabalero” and the Paraguayan Jorge Morel equalized temporarily for the “Pincha”, who in the discount at the end achieved the final tie through Bautista Kociubinski.
The team from La Plata addressed this commitment with an alternative formation due to the decision of its technical director, Ricardo Zielinski, to offer rest to the usual starters with a view to next Tuesday’s game in La Plata against Bragantino, from Brazil, with whom he shares the top of group C of the Copa Libertadores, with 4 points.
On the other hand, Julio Falcioni did his best in search of improving Colón’s weak present in the local tournament, despite the fact that next Tuesday he will also have to receive Peñarol, from Montevideo, for group G of the same continental competition.
In the end, with equality, Estudiantes maintained their positive streak of, now, 10 dates without losing as visitors, despite the fact that they left the three wins in a row. For his part, Colón continued with his negative mark of 9 dates without being able to add three points.
For this reason, the “Sabalero” team jumped onto the field in a hurry to gain an eventual advantage due to the alternative formation of their opponent, so much so that with the high pressure exerted from the beginning they were able to generate the early and surprising opening.
In this way, Bernardi stole the ball from Carlo Lattanzio, near the visiting area, which drifted towards Rodríguez, who from 25 meters took a low and violent shot that forced Jerónimo Pourtau to give a rejection, which Bernardi knew how to capture in an onslaught to convert ( 4 minutes).
The Platenses, with the good debut of the young defender Santiago Núñez -near the end of the match he had to be replaced due to a cramp in his left leg- were not daunted and quickly balanced the actions. Moreover, they began to prevail in attack over the rival.
Hence, after a corner and a couple of detours in the local area, the ball reached the Paraguayan midfielder Jorge Morel, who, entering from the right, had no difficulty in scoring the transitory equality and his first goal in Argentine football ( 23min).
Near the end of the first episode, when the red and black decided to go on the offensive more often, the magic of ‘Pulga’ Rodríguez appeared to receive an assist from Rodrigo Aliendro and define it with an exquisite cross shot from left to right, to leave without reaction to Pourtau and put his team ahead again (40 min).
At the beginning of the second chapter, Colón had to endure the departure of his figure, “Pulga” Rodríguez himself, who suffered severe pain in the left inguinal area (4 min), for which at the end of the match he was transferred to a sanatorium in Santa Fe to perform an MRI to know the definitive diagnosis of his injury.
What Falcioni, with the changes he introduced, recomposed the walk of his directed, to maintain an intense game as “Pincha” proposed, so both casts contributed dangerous approaches to the entertaining show.
The one that finally closed with emotional passages in the 9 minutes added at the end, when Colón had chances to increase the advantage as Estudiantes did to tie it and the latter occurred with the splendid execution of a free kick by Kociubinski, who scored his first goal in first division, (53 min).
For the 13th date, Colón will visit Arsenal, in Sarandí, on Saturday 30 at 7:00 p.m.; while Students, at the same time but the day before, will receive Aldosivi in La Plata.
