Luis Rodríguez (10m. PT) and Júnior Arias (25m. PT) missed a penalty on each side, which helped the goalkeepers of both teams to be the figures of the afternoon in Paraná.
The sun, the heat from Entre Ríos and the poor state of the playing field did not prevent Gimnasia from taking over the game from minute zero and cornering Patronato in its area, which bet on a long and fast counterattack, and committing fouls to cut the plays.
A good pass into the void from Cechinni (10m.) Enabled Alemán, who entered the area, got hooked and Cobos committed a penalty, but the young goalkeeper Matías Mansilla (with only two games in first) stopped “Pulga” Rodríguez, in the third penalty missed in the tournament by the tucumano.
The local woke up with that penalty saved and the match continued back and forth, very even, but with a counterattack at 24 minutes, Patronato managed to have a penalty in favor.
Rey came out late and went down to striker Arias inside the area, but the goalkeeper himself stopped the shot at the right post, like the Gimnasia penalty, at the same “red-black” forward.
Despite the failed shot, Patronato did not lower his arms and, true to his style, constantly tried to open the scoring, but the bad decisions of the strikers and the good responses of the “Lobo” goalkeeper allowed him to keep zero even though he went to the changing rooms with more chances generated and better image.
With more than 15 fouls committed, and some 10 clear goal plays, the Entrepreneur team marked the speed of the game and its mark of play in the second half, but in the same way that it was intense in the attacks, it was untidy in the defending.
The three changes that Néstor Gorosito made for the last 15 minutes opened spaces for Gimnasia, but he could not “aggiorn” and improve his performance, while Patronato, with very little and playing with the nerves of “Wolf”, tried more, attacked more and managed to stay with the “mental victory”, but without breaking the zero.
In this way, and despite the fact that he did not depend on himself, Gimnasia missed 4 of the last 6 points and missed the possibility of entering the Copa Sudamericana 2022.
