The only goal of the match, played in Libertadores de América-Ricardo Bochini and refereed by Fernando Rapallini, was scored by Leandro Benegas 16 minutes into the second half.
The winner, who approached the match without the presence of his coach, Julio César Falcioni (resting at home, watching the match on TV and undergoing medical treatment for a respiratory condition), but covered from the bench by his assistants Pedro Monzón and Néstor Piccoli, went from minor to major.
In the first passages it was the Rosario team that was the best positioned in the field, with greater pressure and control of the ball in the middle sector plus some dangerous approaches towards the local goal.
Until those of Avellaneda, with the growth of the work of midfielders Iván Marcone and Lucas Romero, not only balanced the actions but also offered more sharp arrivals.
Like the one that had “Perro” Romero as the protagonist when defining an advance with a violent right hand from outside the area that goalkeeper Lautaro Morales knew how to control (39 min), in a discreet first stage, with more fight than game and with more inaccuracies what successes
The complement offered a better development because both teams lavished themselves with a more intense and incisive action, in which Independiente showed greater discretion.
With the projections of Alex Vigo on the right side, the locals found a way to unbalance the ‘Leprosy’ defense, as they did with one of their many centers, which Morales managed to deflect and Damián received the surprise rejection Batallini could not give the ball the precise direction, wasting a clear scoring situation (11 min).
The owner of the house continued with the insistence of this practice to find the opening, which in the end he achieved with another cross from Vigo that Rodrigo Márquez headed, with the subsequent deflection by Morales and the entry of Benegas to capture the ball. and convert with violent shot (16 min).
Later, the author of the goal had to withdraw injured due to muscular discomfort and the youthful Santiago Rodríguez entered; The same thing happened with Romero, the figure of the match, who with great wear and tear was the driver of the team and who, due to a blow to his knee, left his place to Alan Soñora.
These circumstances and the impetus to reach equality, in the last passages Newell’s pressured the ‘red’ team, tonight in white, forcing him to delay.
Thus, those led by Adrián Coria had their clearest arrival with an onslaught from the admitted Francisco González, whose strong and creeping final shot was thrown by Milton Álvarez (39 min).
That reaction was not enough for those from Parque Independencia, who also ended up with Juan Garro and Brian Aguirre injured, to compromise the just triumph of the “Devil”.
On the next date, the 22nd, Independiente will visit Arsenal, from Sarandí; and Newell’s will travel to Santa Fe to face Unión.
