Both teams stopped with a traditional 4-4-2, but inaccuracies and fouls took over the match in its first minutes, which were very short and generated a slow flow of time.
Just after 7 minutes, Urzi, who according to Claudio Vivas was playing well as a striker and more liberated from his previous defensive responsibilities, made a quick run but defined outside before Medina’s exit.
With somewhat complicated news, both teams did not give anything and opted more for the fight than for the development of plays. Thus, the game was played from three quarters to three quarters of the field, without the intervention of the goalkeepers, except for corner kicks and stopped ball plays. And the statistics recorded that at 32 minutes there were already 15 fouls in total.
Just at 26 and again at the feet of Urzi, Banfield approached Medina when the forward received a long pass and defined but the local goalkeeper covered.
In the second half, the friction and inaccuracies continued, despite the fact that Vivas moved the bench looking for freshness and ideas among the substitutes. At 27, Medina blocked a formidable free kick from Galoppo and that corner kick led to a foul by Suárez grabbing Maciel, which the referee Nazareno Arasa charged as a penalty without being alerted by the VAR.
But from the VAR they called him to check it and Ariel Penel, who was in the center located in the AFA building in Ezeiza, convinced Arasa that it was not a foul.
After that moment of tension, the game returned to its flatness that had its maximum expression when Perales wanted to kick on goal, the ball ended up on the side, and when the ball was played again, Damián Pérez wanted to enable a striker and the ball another. time ended up crossing the sideline.
When the last five minutes were played, Arsenal had their only two scoring options: after a cross, Colman headed in a good position and Bologna contained without problems, and a minute later Maciel gave badly backwards and the Paraguayan striker defined very badly, without stop it, and the Banfileño goalkeeper controlled the ball very calmly.
