Above, six minutes later Avellaneda’s team was left with ten players due to the expulsion of Domingo Blanco.
Despite not having Julio César Falcioni on the substitute bench due to a picture of pneumonia, Independiente achieved an important victory not only because he cut the negative streak, but because he escaped from his rivals by qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana 2022, by get four points from Racing and five from Argentinos.
But to celebrate before his audience, Independiente had to know how to suffer, because for most of the game he lacked football ideas to be able to counteract the intensity proposed by “Tatengue”, led by Gustavo Munúa.
The lack of aim of the forwards of the Santa Fe team and the interventions of Sosa kept Independiente alive.
The clearest of the first half was in a left-handed half-turn by Mauro Luna Diale, who came out near the right post.
In the first fifteen of the complement, The “Rojo” also had to rely on Sosa, with two important interventions in the face of Union attacks, until Omar Píccoli, the absent Falcioni’s field assistant, sent “Chaco” Martínez to the field.
The 22-year-old youth changed the face of Independiente’s offense, he leaned on the left side and began to monopolize the local attacks, based on his speed and dribbling in 1 versus 1.
That is how at 28 minutes, Martínez was lined up hand in hand entering the area, faked inside and went outside, to hit a left-footed shot that dug into the corner and made the Independiente fans explode with joy.
The defensive support of “Rojo” was complicated by the expulsion of Domingo Blanco, by a strong plate in the middle of the field, although he finally managed to maintain the advantage to cut the bad streak and achieve a little air at a football and managerial level.
