As happened in the previous success achieved in the contest against Sarmiento (5-3) in Junín, arbitration had a notable impact on the final result, based on a controversial decision made by Nicolás Lamolina.
When minute 39 of the second period elapsed, the entered Christian Tarragona he sent the ball to the net and achieved the tie for a cast from La Plata that, even with its limitations, had searched for it throughout the second half.
However, at the behest of the VAR, the referee La Molina proceeded to annul the maneuver and not validate the conquest, after a hand was appreciated in the previous play committed by the striker of “Lobo”, Benjamin Dominguez.
The truth is that in that same play, but in a previous instance there was a hand -also casual- from the local defender, Mauro Peinipil. That infraction remained without sanction.
In this way, the “rojiblanco” team took the three points in dispute, through a shot from Carlos Arce (Pt. 19m.), who stopped the ball with his chest and hit it squarely to place the ball down, next to Tomás Durso’s right post.
In that same first half, Barracas Central, who returned to victory at the Olavarría y Luna stadium after five games, could have increased the figures, through Maximiliano Puig (32m.), but seconds before the youthful midfielder Defined the goal there was a hand that the number 79 of the local team committed, after going to the ground with the rival goalkeeper.
In that first period, the Rodolfo De Paoli-Alejandro Milano duo knew how to move better, managed the ball well and counted on dangerous situations (there were not many).
In the second half, Gimnasia (which came from the painful elimination in the Argentine Cup at the hands of Excursionistas, from the First C) reacted with the arrivals of Tarragona, Muro and Comba. With the overtaking of the kid Miramón on the field plus a more determined attitude, the “Wolf” prowled the rival area often and turned goalkeeper Andrés Desábato into a figure.
Those led by DT Sebastián Romero had their chances to tie with a shot that Alan Sosa missed; saves by Désabato against shots by Muro and Benjamín Domínguez and a subsequent shot by Miramón off the crossbar, already in stoppage time.
The referee Lamolina deprived Gimnasia of the tie in the targeted maneuver in Tarragona and then also annulled a conquest by Leonardo Morales, due to the advanced position of the albiazul central defender.
Barracas Central will visit Newell’s, in Rosario, this Saturday, March 4, from 9:30 p.m., while Gimnasia will be local with Colón, that same day, but from 5:00 p.m. but what is most striking is the deafening silence of the leaders who should defend the interests of their clubs and yet are passive in the face of so much arbitral subjugation every time they face Claudio Tapia’s team.
