The local took advantage of the penalty they had to take advantage, while the “Red” only bothered the goalkeeper Thomas Marchiori with shots from medium distance, although without effectiveness, so the first half ended in favor of the Tucumans.
The beginning of the second stage once again showed the two teams with more enthusiasm than criteria with the ball to generate collective play, although little by little Independiente got ahead on the field and stalked the local area, but without any real danger.
With the passing of the minutes those directed by the technician Ricardo Zielinski They lowered the intensity and the locals withdrew into their field, became strong in defense, at times counterattacked and took care of the result in their favor with intelligence to keep the three points.
