Yonathan Cabral opened the account for the local at 5m of the first half and was tied by Julián Álvarez, the tournament’s top scorer with 18 annotations, at 16m from the complement.
Marcelo Gallardo presented a mixed team, made up mostly of regular substitutes, preserving several of the starters for the final for the Champions Trophy, which will be played against Colón de Santa Fe, next Saturday 18 at 9:10 p.m., at the stadium Sole-Mother of Cities of Santiago del Estero.
Among those he enlisted this time there were some with little filming, such as the case of the right-back Alex Vigo, who with a header cleared a short shot from a corner from Tucumán, which spliced the air with his left foot the defender Cabral, overcoming the resistance of Enrique Bologna, to quickly put the local team ahead, after 4 minutes of play.
Thus, the former Racing defender offered the “Dean” the cut of an adverse streak of 286 minutes without converting.
Thus, those led for the last time by the interim coach Martín Anastacio -in the next few days Juan Manuel Azconzábal will assume as the new DT-, took confidence to play him as equals to River, even trying to take advantage of some misintelligence in the contention by part of the adversaries.
Those inaccuracies of the visitors disturbed the “Doll” Gallardo, who had to give different indications to Agustín Palavecino, Bruno Zuculini and José Paradela, to give more firmness to the team in the middle sector, with what little by little he matched the actions of the albicelestes.
Although that was not enough to generate deep charges to have any chance for equality; on the contrary, the owner of the house knew how to control the game circuit and with quick maneuvers on the sides he generated more of a tumble for Bologna.
Only in the last minute of the first stage River was able to create a pressing situation for Cristian Lucchetti -who would not renew his contract with the “Dean” -, with a swift reply that culminated in the swift entry of Federico Girotti, whose violent shot was able to contain the archer with his vast experience.
With the income of Julián Álvarez for Santiago Simón and Enzo Fernández for Alex Vigo at the beginning of the second half, Gallardo left three in the background and added another attacker in an attempt to improve River’s performance and seek equality with greater weapons.
However, Atlético did not lose his line and was about to increase the advantage, when the recently entered Ramiro Ruiz Rodríguez knew how to take advantage of a rival defensive fault to manufacture the way to enter the area and take a creeping and crossed shot that Bologna, When he read the play well, he took the lead just to deflect to the corner, at 10 minutes.
Later, the decision of the “Doll” to include Álvarez paid off because the ineffable friend of the goal – the top scorer of the tournament with 18 – stamped his seal to mark the tie when he received a wonderful assist from Palavecino and faced him at speed. local goal, beating “Laucha” Lucchetti with a bombshell to the upper right corner, at 16 minutes.
From there, the show became more attractive because both sides bet on going towards the triumph, partly improving the Buenos Aires one, due to their drive and the pride of a champion, but without the clarity necessary to generate greater concerns in the local fund and Lucchetti, that was applauded towards the end by the Albiceleste partiality, which filled the stadium.
Meanwhile, the Tucuman team was smarter to reach the beard of “Beto” Bologna despite lacking precision to achieve the second goal.
While at 28 minutes, Héctor David Martínez had to enter the “Millionaire” to replace Javier Pinola, who suffered a strain on the back muscle of his right leg.
Finally, the two casts had to settle for the tie, leaving the riverplatenses bitter taste of not being able to end the championship won with a victory; and on the side of the locals, the same feeling for not giving joy to their people at the end of the tournament, which closed it with 9 games without winning.
