The “Squid”, who had accumulated three defeats in a row away from home, took advantage with a header from Nicolás Morgantini at 42′ and defined the match at 54′ with a goal from defender Ayrton Costa, in his second arrival in the area of Federico Lanzillotta.
The three points added at the Diego Maradona stadium allowed the visitors to climb to 8th place in the LPF with 25 and improve their situation in the table of averages for relegation.
At the same time, they ratified the superiority in the history, which now shows a partial of 28 wins, 31 draws and 20 losses in favor of Vicente López’s club.
Since his return to the First Division after 22 years, at the beginning of 2021, Platense won both games against him at La Paternal and drew another two at home, in games valid for the League and Cup of the Professional Football League.
DT Omar De Felippe opted for a compact defensive team, took Mauro Zárate, his highest-ranking footballer, out of the formation, and the plan went perfectly.
Argentinos widely had possession of the ball in the initial stage, without this translating into shots on goal or dangerous situations. His chances were reduced to a shot from Gabriel Ávalos at the base of the post and a header from Kevin Mac Allister, whose rebound was wasted by Federico Redondo inches from the goal.
In contrast, Platense did know how to hit and Morgatini surprised the goalkeeper with a header after Mauro Bogado’s corner from the right, which was deflected by Ávalos at the near post.
In the second half he proved it again with a play by Ayton Costa, who after passing between two rivals, combined with Rodrigo Contreras and took a left-footed cross from mid-height to make it 2-0.
That goal sentenced “Bicho”, which from then on was a rushed and nervous team, which the changes could not improve. Platense was strengthened in the psychological aspect, with a favorable game context to counterattack and finally achieved a much-celebrated victory in the classic.
