Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero and Lanús accumulated few merits and designed a discreet 0-0 draw, in the continuity of the ninth date of zone B of the League Cup Professional (LPF).
The meeting, which marked the coach’s official debut Ricardo Zielinski led by the “Granate” team, it was played at the Madre de Ciudades stadium in the capital of Santiago.
The referee Andrés Merlos, after another poor performance, sent off the Paraguayan defender in injury time José María Canalewhen the former Godoy Cruz de Mendoza did not even commit an infraction against the admitted Federico Jourdan.
With this division of units, the “Ferroviario” gathers 14 points in group B and continues in qualifying positions for the quarterfinals. However, those led by the technician Omar De Felipe They remain in an uncomfortable situation in the annual table, with 43 units, five ahead of Colón de Santa Fe, Huracán and Gimnasia La Plata, the three that today should settle respective playoffs for a relegation spot to the Primera Nacional.
While Lanus It is last in the standings with 4 points and is the only team in the entire Cup of the LPF that has not yet won.
The development of the first period was of low technical relief. The two teams were more concerned with protecting each other rather than proposing individual imbalances.
In that poor context, the visiting team handled the ball better and hinted more each time they Pedro De la Vega made contact with the ball. But the real danger of scoring evaporated and the goalkeeper Mansilla He was also a luxury spectator as Lucas Acosta.
In the second half, both teams improved with the variants introduced, but Córdoba Central -above all- he assumed a leading offensive role with the entry of Jourdan, well accompanied by Mateo Sanabriacoincidentally arising from the training divisions of “Granate”.
The former Villa Dálmine player had the two clearest chances to score, at 40 minutes, with a shot that hit the crossbar, and at 47, with a header that required a notable response from the visiting goalkeeper.
Lanús, which also generated more concerns with the entrances of the freshmen, had a very clear opportunity in injury time, with a shot from the endless Corrientes José Sand that went high, after a half turn from a favorable position. Previously, the clearest thing that “Granate” had designed consisted of a low shot by De la Vega that was saved by Mansilla and fair coverage of Mauro Pittónwhen Sand he licked his lips to connect and send to the network.
The discreet performance of referee Merlos became embarrassing, when he sanctioned a non-existent infraction of Canale (it was clearly seen that the Lanús player did not even touch him) Jourdan and he gave the defender a second yellow card to leave the visiting team with 10 players.
For the tenth day, Lanús will host Tigre on Thursday the 26th, while Central Córdoba will visit Belgrano, in Córdoba, the day before.
