Defense and Justice beat 1-0 Students of La Plata, as a local, in a match for the twelfth date of the Zone B of the Professional League Cupplayed this afternoon, and was closer to qualifying.
In the match played at the Norberto Tomaghello stadium in Florencio Varela, Paraguayan Rodrigo Bogarín scored the only goal of the match 25 minutes into the first stage.
With this result, Julio Vaccari’s team reached 20 points and climbed to third position, relegating Estudiantes to fourth place and remaining among the top four that, for now, qualify for the playoffs.
For its part, Eduardo Domínguez’s team added its third consecutive defeat, complicating its chances of qualifying for the final phase of the League Cup and will have to wait for a fall from Boca and Newell’s Old Boys de Rosario to avoid finishing outside the zone of classification.
In an even match with few opportunities, Defensa was able to unblock it with a goal from Paraguayan Bogarín. A few steps from the “Pincha” area, Kevin López faced and opened the crescent for the former Libertad of Paraguay who placed it to his right, with which he took a great cross shot to the left post of goalkeeper Matías Mansilla.
After the advantage, the local team played more comfortably and speculated on the desperation of its rival, which hardly bothered its rival, except for a weak header from Correa.
