At the José Dellagiovanna stadium in the Buenos Aires town of Victoria, the local team showed superiority and ended up winning with the goals scored by the Paraguayan Blas Armoa (Pt. 6m.) and Facundo Colidio (Pt. 22m.).
Liniers’ team, recently eliminated in the Copa Libertadores (at the hands of Flamengo from Brazil) and in the Copa Argentina (they lost last Thursday to Independiente in the round of 16), added their fifteenth match without a win (9 draws, 6 losses).
The cast of the Uruguayan DT Alexander Medinawhich has not won since last June (2-0 against Rosario Central at the José Amalfitani stadium), finished with ten men as a result of the expulsion of left back Emanuel Insúa (St. 10m.).
In the context of an attractive matchup, Tiger it was more from a greater offensive voracity, expressed in the imbalance that he showed armoa and in the unmarking ability of the best striker in the championship: Matthew Retegui.
With these simple arguments, plus the criterion exhibited in the central zone by the tandem Ezequiel Fernandez-Lucas Menossithose led by Diego Martinez They exploited gross flaws in a rival that seems not only to have hit rock bottom in the emotional aspect but also in football.
At 6m., a ball put behind the Uruguayan’s back matias de los santos found Retegui entering diagonally and giving him -taco through- the ball to armoah, who came from the left. The Paraguayan attacker’s shot, adjusted next to the crossbar Leonardo Buriandecreed the opening of the blackboard.
Velez they tried to react and advanced their lines, but exhibited appreciable difficulties in putting a local team in danger, which was not so solid at the back either.
However, every time Tiger he changed the rhythm and rushed the visiting team, the feeling of scoring prowled the atmosphere in the north of the Buenos Aires suburbs.
Thus, over 22m., armoa he won one more time in heads-up with Insúa and sent a cross past; alexis castro could not finish off and allowed the hasty rejection of Thomas Guidara. Then the ball drifted to the position of colidium, who beat him violently and increased the numbers.
The second goal practically left a ‘groggy’ to a Velez, that he could not stand in the middle of the field and supplied very little to his advanced men.
The difference could have been greater, in those 45m. initials, although a header from Retegui crashed into the stick.
In the second half, the changes introduced did not give him better results, beyond the freshness of the kid Santiago Castro. It is that, at 10m. and to complete a fateful day, full-back Insúa was sent off for a new infraction and left the visitor outnumbered.
Without the obligation to maintain high blood pressure, Tiger he regulated the development and let the minutes pass. Velez, Without ideas or drive, he showed a caricature of the level that -for example- he played in the Libertadores round of 16 series with River Plate (1-0 and 0-0), where he seemed to emerge as a growing team.
The ‘Matador’ from Victoria added three new points that affirm his intention to enter an international Cup during the next season. Liniers’ ‘Fortín’, for its part, without any objective in sight, wants the competition to end as quickly as possible, to ‘shuffle and hit again’, after a frustrating 2022.
