Banfield won three important points in the fight to move away from the lower zone of the positions for the 2024 season, by beating Tigre, in Victoria, 2-1, in a match corresponding to the 23rd. professional league date.
The South team, this time led by Néstor Píccoli since Julius Caesar Falcioni is recovering from an operation for appendicitis, he was practical and forceful and with two goals from Juan Bisanz took advantage of Tigre’s bad timing, which he discounted with a header from Abel Luciattifinally expelled.
For this occasion the technician John Manuel Sarah had a team with two fighters as Sebastián Prediger and Agustín Cardozo in the middle, then two half points as Aaron Molinas and Ezequiel Forclazwhile Blas Armoa and Mateo Retegui They had the mission of generating actions against the rival goal.
For Banfield, Piccoli arranged that German Brahian will stand near the steering wheels Matias Romero and Alejandro Cabrerawhile Nicholas Sosa Sanchez He was a winger in the right sector with more freedom to go on the attack. Upstairs they waited Juan Bisanz and Milton Gimenez to make a difference in the network.
The locals took control of the game, Mateo Retegui shocked the banfileña defense and Facundo Cambeses he had to work from the first minute, since his midfield could not control the game.
The needs of both teams caused the game to have rough moments and referee Fernando Espinoza handed out three cards before the first quarter of the first half.
But Banfield changed the fate of the match at 29 minutes when Emanuel Insua He put a side in the small area, sosa sanchez lowered it back and Juan Bisanz He took it for air and nailed it to the far post.
Banfield changed the game with a weapons teams falcioni, the stopped ball, although in this case he took advantage of the force with which insúa He does the wings, which made the ball arrive inside the small area. The South team hardly kicked on goal and had little control of the game until their goal.
Victoria’s team declined, it was difficult for her to keep the ball under control, German, Cabrera and Romero They took possession of the ball and managed the times, but they also more than fulfilled their first task, which was to destroy their rival’s game circuits.
The first stage ended with Banfield showing a better face and taking advantage of the desperation of a Tiger that became imprecise and charged disorderly, but found the firmness of Aaron Quiros and his goalkeeper Cambeses.
In the second half, Banfield it continued to be a very practical and simple team and so in the first seven minutes Sosa Sánchez crashed a warped ball into the crossbar and Quirós a header on the post, which could have sealed the result in favor of the South team.
In this panorama, the most prominent of the locals was the youth Forclaz, that he decided to bet on his speed, his self-confidence and lack of prejudice to dribble, constantly change sides and thus become a headache for the visiting defense.
The practicality of the southerners paid off handsomely after 16 minutes when, Tiger He dominated the ball in his field, they gave it back, Aerie a knot was tied under the pressure of Milton Gimenez and he gave it to bisanz, that he defined before the desperate exit of Marinelli and scored the second.
A couple of minutes later, chants began to rain down from the stands in Victoria against the local players and demanding more attitude and effort. Sara moved the bench to seek greater depth and possession of the ball, but she took it out to Forclaz, who was the only one who broke the Banfileño defensive lock.
While Píccoli resorted to the “Falcionista Manual”, he took out Brahian Alemán and Sosa Sánchez and sent a defender and a recovery midfielder to the field so that the wall was impassable.
Tigre found the discount with a header from Abel Luciatti after a corner kick and there a light of hope came on for the Zona Norte team.
The last 15 minutes were lost between struggles and inaccuracies, which was the game that Banfield was looking for to take the three points, something that he repeated from the previous date in which he beat Argentinos Juniors 1-0 at home, also without Falcioni in the bank.
And Tigre succumbed to his lack of clarity, beginning to miss a Facundo Colidio who just left and can return to his first home: Boca Juniors.
