Once again in a packed stadium and with a fast playing field due to the rain, the game started in Tucuman with the desire of the host to obtain the three points that invites you to dream But in front, Unión de Santa Fe was not resigned to being a mere partner.
Uruguayan Gustavo Munúa’s team waited, pressed and took on the Dean’s main receiverswho then had to appeal to the ball to reach the rival area, which he achieved immediately after a good projection from the side Garay that Lotti resolved poorly.
That’s the way it is, the Tatengue handled the ball a little more and played looser from the companies that Nardoni, Machuca and Portillo proposed at times. On your side, With the pressure of their own people and the urgent need to win, Atlético Tucumán was once again nervous.
It didn’t happen too much and then about half an hour Acosta kicked from outside the area, Mele rebounded and Coronel a la pesca put it inside, but his offside was so evident that it was not even necessary to resort to VAR, the star of the competition.
In the replica, a cross ball complicated Orihuela and allowed Lampe to shine against the shot of the dangerous Machuca. Right away, Nardoni shook the crossbar.
Even the unexpected presence of a cat (luckily gray) that crossed the field at full speed conspired and worried Atlético Tucumán, who were able to go into the break with the fence at zero because once again the Bolivian goalkeeper took a tremendous free kick from Esquivel from the angle.
