Belgrano obtained a well-deserved and very valuable victory by 2 to 0 over Defensa y Justicia, in Florencio Varela, closing the opening segment of the ninth date of Zone B of the League Cup Professional who leads and who also made it the team with the most accumulated points in both groups,
With games with similar characteristics, although somewhat more direct in the case of the Cordobans of Guillermo Farré compared to those of Julio Vaccariboth teams, which arrived and are still immersed among the four qualifiers in their area to the quarterfinals of the competition, played mirror-like football in the first half.
Belgrano, with the championship scorer Lucas Passerini (with seven goals) as a center forward reference but entering and leaving the rival area, the same as the other Lucas Prattoat the venue, they sought to attack on the wings, starting with a development of control that they highlighted during the visit. Santiago Longo and Esteban Rolón.
That’s why the game went back and forth from area to area with neatness and depth, certainly without taking shortcuts, but with an elaboration worthy of two of the teams that play best in this League Cup.
And within that panorama Defense and Justicewhich is also still in the qualification zone for the 2024 Copa Libertadores, had the best options during the first half and at the start of the second, especially at the feet of the aforementioned Pratto, what he found in the archer Nahuel Losada the fronton that prevented him from reaching the net.
For Belgrano, meanwhile, those chances appeared after 10 minutes of the complement, first with a shot on the Chilean’s left post. Matias Marin and then with a save Enrique Bologna before a shot Passerini.
But before the quarter of an hour and a corner kick, he himself Passerini He opened the scoring with a header, jumping higher than anyone in the local area, taking advantage of a good screen from Esteban Rolón.
And from there a Defense and Justice who suffered the impact and feels the pain of absences due to injuries, left signs that he could receive a knockout blow and went there Belgrano, that less than 10 minutes after the first conquest he reached the second through a Passerini who this time became an assistant and gave a precise back pass to that talented all-terrain midfielder who is Ulises Sanchez.
That was the coup de grace for Defense and Justicewhich even with half a time left to twist history, had no rest to do so, neither football nor apparently physically, since the wear and tear of recent times with triple competition seems to take its toll at this point in the season.
For Belgrano, on the other hand, everything is happiness, because he was two units behind San Lorenzo to access that same Libertadores zone with 17 points also at the top of Zone B, one more than River Plate, the leader of Zone A. .
