the home striker Francis Pizzini scored against his goal the opening of the scoring for “Fortín” at 29 minutes of the first half and increased at 33 minutes Julian Fernandez, while at 44m. of the complement deducted the income david romero for home owners.
With this victory, Velez reaches eight points in the tournament, and expects the assumption of Ricardo Gareca as a coach, who arrives to replace the Uruguayan Alexander Medinawho left his position after the defeat against Boca last week.
The defeat for those of Javier Gandolfi means cutting a streak of four victories in a row and prevents it from continuing at the top of the standings, since now with 12 points it remains as one of the escorts of the transitory leader San Lorenzo (13).
The local team was about to take the lead when there were barely two minutes left in the game, but the Uruguayan Michael Santos lost a one-on-one against Leonardo Burian after catching the visitor’s defense in a bad save and running more than 20 meters with the ball under control.
That action could have changed the development of the game, but what ultimately changed the process was the expulsion of local defender Juan Portillo, who saw the red card after 15 minutes after going down to Abiel Osorio before entering the area, in a play in which the referee Andrés Merlos had initially scored a penalty, but at the request of the VAR he reversed the decision, it was a free kick and expulsion.
With one more man the visit became strong before a bewildered Talleres, who saw his playmaker Rodrigo Garro come out replaced and could not find the ball.
This situation was taken advantage of by Liniers’ men, who opened the scoring with a set piece, when Elías Cabrera sent a free kick from the right sector into the area, the ball was left over by Miguel Brizuela, and Pizzini involuntarily headed against his goal to give him the header. visitor advantage.
Later, the team led by interim coaches Marcelo Bravo and Hernán Manrique increased with a goal from Fernández, who precisely defined with his left leg a play started by Osorio, who recovered a ball in the middle and set up his teammate.
Talleres not only played with one less, but also failed to achieve the precision and effectiveness that had given him the chance to add four wins in a row, and he looked apathetic and without reaction.
Although this change in attitude and improvement in performance came as soon as the supplement started, with the entry of Diego Valoyes the ?T? found that necessary imbalance, and the visitor was no longer disturbing as in the initial stage.
Gastón Benavídez and Santos had it for the discount, but they could not find the goal, and despite the subsequent expulsion of Francisco Ortega in the final minutes, the local could not find the paths and lost the chance to remain as the only pointer.
In the absence of a minute to go, the much-sought discount arrived, with a good header from Romero, and in added time the ?T? he was excited but was left with nothing, although the public appreciated the effort of the second half.
Vélez will receive Argentinos Juniors on the next date, with the probable debut of Gareca as DT, while Talleres will visit Defensa y Justicia.
