Colon He tried to assert his locality at the start of the game and he succeeded, since he exercised the leading role in his development from possession of the ball and the creation of the best risk options in the vicinity of the Cordoba area.
But it all lasted for the Santa Fe team for the fourth part of the game, that is to say until the middle of the first stage, when little by little Talleres took the ball away from them and began to handle it with discretion and fluidity.
And it was seen then that the “T” had a better disposition of the ball when it was his turn to be the owner of the party that Colon in the same circumstance, thus highlighting the characteristics of the game proposed by both coaches.
It is that while Julio Falcioni (it could have been his last game as colonist technical director, after winning only one of the last 18 games of the local championship) does not “feel” football from the control of the ball, his Portuguese colleague, Peter Caixinhatouts just that, and if his players get the message, as was seen tonight that they do, then everything flows more smoothly.
But to this Talleres added continuity in the domain of actions, because not only did the first period end in full command of the match, but the second began in the same way.
And that start of the complement was quickly rewarded because in that fusion as old as football itself of “a short one and a long one”, when he appealed to the latter after two minutes, Matias Godoy he beat the red and black left back Rafael Delgadoreached the bottom and launched a cross back, at ground level, which was connected to the net at the near post by Federico Girotti.
But this, instead of spurring the wounded pride of the local before its people, had the opposite effect, because it stimulated even more the application of that spirit of play in the “noodle” group, which now continued to seek to finish off the job, and had opportunities to do so.
In fact, he clearly prowled the area defended by Ignacio chicko and his own Girotti he made him wallow a couple of times, one of them saved “in extremis” by the goalkeeper of the hosts.
Talleres was not resigned in his search, and only 10 minutes of siege passed when Columbus, harangued by his people, tried to twist a story that seemed to have a sung ending.
Then Caixinha made a correct reading of the situation and produced the return to the court of Colombian Diego Valoyes to take advantage of some against that would lower the curtain on the scoreboard in advance.
But he couldn’t do it and then the Albinegro team had some unnecessary suffering, like when Ramón “Wanchope” Ábila went hand in hand with Guido Herrera and fellow Colombian Rafael Pérez stripped him of the ball when he was going to execute the Talleres goalkeeper.
Then Colón, who no longer had Rodrigo Aliendro and who today fired his midfield partner, Federico Lértora, who turned 32 yesterday and is going to Tijuana, from Mexico, also kept his “jewel” on the bench, Facundo Farías, until 10 minutes into the complement, and that goodbye climate was reflected on the field before a decisive instance of a team without the hunger for glory of its rival.
And so that the night turned out well for Caixinha in particular and Talleres in general, two other players entered in the second half built the play for the second and definitive goal: Diego Ortegoza perfectly managed the times of a counterattack and opportunely enabled Ángel Martino to that the nephew of the Ecuadorian coach, Gustavo Alfaro, sealed the result and the classification with a left foot shot low and crossed.
And Talleres made history, which became chronologically the first Argentine team to qualify for the quarterfinals of this Copa Libertadores, an unprecedented event for the Cordovan club that today had 2,000 fans in the colonist stadium, who ended up celebrating joyfully together this indelible milestone for football in his province.
Colón and Talleres share the 22nd. place in the Professional League championship, but while the Santa Fe suffers from the diaspora, the other enjoys the renewal, and all this affects the mentality and spirit. That is why Talleres, which had already made history by going to these round of 16, was able to continue increasing it. And who knows what its ceiling will be.
