The Juninenses, who also secured their permanence in the first division for next season with this point, always opened and closed the game by air, the strength of the team led by Israel Damonte and the manifest weakness of those led by Diego Martínez.
Thus, about a quarter of an hour into the initial stage, the experienced local striker Javier Toledo appeared from above to open the scoring with a first header to the ball and a second to the left post of the goal defended today by Gonzalo Marinelli (Manuel Roffo, usual starter, was on the bench) that left him lying out of the field of play for several minutes.
Sarmiento seemed better planted in the field and in fact reached the second conquest again through an already recovered Toledo, who took advantage of a rebound given by Marinelli and stung it with quality above his body, but the goal was invalidated by the referee Fernando Espinoza since the scorer was advanced at the start of the play.
That goal that could have propelled the locals forward even more had, when it was annulled, the opposite effect, because from then on Tigre was hegemonizing the development of the game and began to arrive more and more frequently on Sarmiento’s goal.
And in the final five minutes of that first half, the local goalkeeper, Fernando Meza, gave two exaggeratedly long rebounds against two shots from mid-distance and from there came the two goals with which Tigre turned the scoreboard.
At 40 minutes it was the Paraguayan Blas Armoa who took advantage of the rebound to score the tie and his fifth goal in as many games since he took over with the change of scheme to a 4-3-3 practiced by coach Martínez.
And at 45 minutes the one who took advantage of the gift from the ex-Huracán was Facundio Colidio, who made it 2-2 with a pumped header.
The second stage already had more parity, because the fight in the midfield was distributed and the arrivals at the goal were also.
However, the locals were always closer to the goal than their visitors, especially because of the stopped ball and their power in the game from above.
That is why Marinelli had to work overtime to prevent each header won by the locals from reaching the bottom of their goal.
Until, with just over five minutes remaining, Lisandro López seemed to bring luck to his team with his entry, because immediately another corner kick was won by the local attackers, the ball drifted to the also recently entered Luciano Gondou, who with a left foot low and close to the body of the kneeling Marinelli ended up sealing the final draw.
Now Sarmiento will visit Barracas Central on Saturday, inaugurating the 24th. date, while on Sunday Tigre will host Independiente.
