Defense and Justice and Velez Sarsfield matched 0-0 tonight in Florencio Varela, in the match that opened the ninth round of the Professional League soccer.
The meeting faced two teams with similar ideas, although at different times, since Defensa y Justicia has spent eight months under the technical direction of Julio Vaccari, precisely the former Vélez Sarsfield, while in Liniers a new management of Ricardo Gareca has just begun.
But both teams have offensive proposals, looking for the rival goal, although the high pressure from the locals makes the difference as well as the fast pace that accompanies each move by Vaccari’s men.
In the first half, the tactics ate the game and the arrivals at both goals, because what ended without the scoring opening.
In the second half, Gareca ordered his team, who came out with a more aggressive attitude and with better passes from a midfield that had been inaccurate.
With the passing of the minutes there were arrivals in front of the goals, Ezequiel Unsain and Leonardo Burián had to work, but both teams lacked the final thrust. The Defensa and Vélez forwards participated more in pressing and recovering than in creating plays.
Not even the expulsion of the Paraguayan José Florentín, from Vélez, opened the doors for either of them to win the rival goal, so everything was diluted 0-0.
