The climate prior to the clash was complicated by the institutional crisis that Independiente is going through. In the surroundings parades were seen against goalkeeper Sebastián Sosa and against President Hugo Moyano and his right-hand man, Héctor Maldonado.
The “Rojo” is experiencing a complex year from the sporting, economic and institutional point of view, with the elections postponed -they should have been held last December- due to irregularities in Fabián Doman’s opposition list, which this week the justice system allowed to participate.
All this was seen on the pitch, with chants from the anteroom and the nervousness transferred to a team that cost the entire tournament and no longer has DT Eduardo Domínguez on the bench after the fall with Racing (1-0) in the last sunday classic
In the first 20 minutes of the game, without too many arrivals and with more intensity than ideas from both teams, the local fans began to demonstrate against the leadership.
Independiente had good intentions but the playmakers did not appear, while Rosario Central experienced its best moments when the youthful Facundo Buonanotte and Ignacio Malcorra teamed up.
Central accommodated at the end of the first part, widened the field and He went deep with two headers from Gino Infantino that Sosa covered in a great way.
The zero was not broken because the Uruguayan appeared every time the “rogue” strikers demanded it. The arrivals became frequent and the decision of the attackers prevailed against the doubts of the Independiente fund but always ran into Sosa.
The group managed interim by Claudio Graf only enjoyed each time the ball was at the feet of Tomás Pozzo, already running to the right side of the midfield, although all the good things about the youngster dissolved in the face of the slowness of their forwards at the time of the uncheck.
The game became difficult to follow due to the number of fouls that led to constant cuts. In fact, when 25 minutes were up, 22 fouls (11 per side) and six yellows were already added, in a synthesis of what the complement reflected. In the end they accumulated a total of 34 infractions.
“Let them all go, let not a single one remain…”, people began to sing 30 minutes into the complement, in which they only recognized Pozzo when he was replaced.
The heavy atmosphere for the present of the institutional influenced, once again, the performance of the Independiente players, who in the overall of a flat match never had the key to break the tactical approach of Carlos Tevez.
On the next date, Independiente will visit Defense and Justice and Rosario Central will have the city classic against Newell’s Old Boys at the Gigante de Arroyito.
