Miguel Merentiel and Walter Bou scored for “Halcón”; Gustavo del Prete had temporarily tied for “Pincha”.
Students remain third with 26 points (the same as Lanús), but River Plate (leader of the contest with 33) and Talleres de Córdoba (escort with 32), can be moved away in the course of the date.
Defense and Justice went to rest with a partial 1-0 victory that was not only unobjectionable but also fell short.
The thing is the “Falcon” was superior to Students in each sector of the field, had the ball for much of the stage, took advantage of the spaces left by the visiting defense and generated five clear goal chances: he only took advantage of one, when Merentiel escaped on the right after assistance from Frías and before the departure of Andújar he defined crossed for take advantage.
Curiously, Defense had almost always attacked from the other sector, the left, where the Pizzini-Soto society connected on several occasions to bring danger to the “Pincha” arc.
In addition to the goal, Merentiel had two more (one resolved by Andújar, another deflected); and Bou had as many. Like his attacking partner, he defined poorly in one and in the other he “fell asleep” in hand-to-hand with the goalkeeper.
On the end of the stage, Estudiantes almost tied it with an arrival from Sánchez Miño, who threw off the track and avoided injustice.
Ricardo Zielinski’s team came out with a different attitude in the second half: they took possession of the ball, worked on the neat circulation and from there tried to progress. And he had not made merits for the tie, but this is football: at 5m, in a corner, Ayoví lowered it headlong and Del Prete, turning around and already inside the small area, scored the shot for the 1 to 1.
So yes, along with Zuqui and Kociubinski in the middle, Godoy with his projections on the right and Del Prete above, Estudiantes grew in confidence and performance and began to dominate. He built his best passage in the match and was close to another goal. But the local reacted with the income from Rotondi and Loaiza.
From there It was another game, entertaining, with arrivals from both sides, because both “Halcón” and “Pincha” were better in attack than in defense.. In this context, it was the venue that again made a difference, when it least deserved it, as a kind of retroactive justice, at 25m: Bou anticipated in a center, managed to put the tip of his right foot and scored the 2nd 1.
Students felt the blow. Defense was enlarged. Bou had it again, twice, and also Rotondi, and also Benítez. A succession of very clear opportunities that the local wasted, but that ended without regretting because it was left with its third consecutive victory to better accommodate itself in the positions.
On the next day, the 17th, Defense will visit the Patronato de Paraná (Tuesday from 7:00 p.m.) and Estudiantes will receive Atlético Tucumán in La Plata (Wednesday, also from 7:00 p.m.).
