One minute into the match, “Juanma” Cruz had a chance when he tried to dodge goalkeeper Macagno, who quickly locked his feet and avoided danger; Y Rosario responded with an overflow from the Uruguayan Méndez that García spliced with scissors on the edge of the area and the ball went far from the goal.
Both teams shared the leading role but the pressure from Banfield was greater, with a search for their midfielders, while Rosario responded with the rise of their sides and opening the pitch to then launch crosses into the local area.
When the “Drill” took possession of the ball, Newell’s backed up with great order and planted two lines of four to prevent Macagno from entering the area. Former Fénix de Uruguay, Méndez, caused concern again when he quickly got rid of two Banfileños and when he was approaching the goal, Bologna took it away with his feet and cleared the risk.
Bologna was establishing itself as a figure in the face of the most pungent actions of the visitors. Méndez and González appropriated the right sector of the Rosario attack and made a difference to Ian Escobar, who was always “paying”.
In that pressure game, Banfield dispensed with playing from below and bet on balls to reach the rival area.
Until at 25m González took advantage of a bad transfer between Banfield’s defenders and midfielders, he stole and went on the attack, overflowed and shot a center back that García took first class and defined with great quality, putting it next to a post.
In the following minutes, it was difficult for Banfield to harm his rivals, with a solidary and hard-working attitude, and in the face of possible errors, he had Macagno to avoid any risk.
At 44m González “killed” a ball and enabled Sordo with a pass between the lines, who took advantage of how badly the local team played the “off side”, faced Bologna and scored the second goal for Rosario.
In the complement Banfield came out more determined and managed to put Newell’s in his area, but he was not forceful. The local coach, Claudio Vivas, changed the lead and Cuadra and Enrique entered, while the visiting coach, Javier Sanguinetti, chose to reinforce the midfield.
The minutes went by and the defense of the people from Rosario was very firm, neutralizing the attacks from Banfilo, whose forwards seemed to lack strength. That deadpan made Macagno a spectator in the final 15 minutes.
Although Ramiro Enrique searched for a ball almost outside the area in stoppage time and goalkeeper Macagno seemed to touch him. The referee Fernando Echenique consulted the VAR and decided to charge a penalty that Galoppo turned into a goal.
Despite this, Banfield fans sang songs against the president of the institution, Eduardo Spinoza, in the final minutes of the match and marked a heated mood.
