Banfield continues to be in good shape and with the 2-0 win over Godoy Cruz on Monday, they stretched their unbeaten record to five games, with three wins and two draws. El Taladro prevailed against Tomba at the Florencio Sola with goals from winger Juan Bisanz at minute 27 and winger Emanuel Insúa at minute 84.
The team led temporarily by the duo Omar Píccoli-Julio Barraza (replacing Julio Falcioni, who is recovering from an appendicitis operation) reached 29 points and left behind Tigre and Independiente (with 28) plus Vélez and Unión (with 27).
For his part, Godoy Cruz ended a streak of six without falls (three wins and three draws) in the local tournament and continues with 38 points, in the qualifying zone for the Copa Sudamericana.
In the image and likeness of Falcioni’s preaching, the albiverde team of these last dates acquired the mask of a supportive and rocky eleven, with the virtue of knowing how to take advantage of the scoring opportunities available to them.
Thus, in one of the attacking maneuvers of the first half, after a corner kick executed by the Uruguayan Brahian Alemán (pursued by San Lorenzo) the head of Aaron Quirós appeared in the area and a new popcorn hit from Bisanz to bill.
The local team continued pressing up trying to cover the game circuits that Tomba could put together, where Hernán López Muñoz looked isolated and lacking company to generate danger.
In the second half, the Mendoza team advanced lines, but it was not deep and they reiterated in centers to try to level the score.
On the contrary, the Drill always looked crouched as to liquidate it against. And in one of those replicas, when the kid Gerónimo Rivera was already on the field, he set up a takeoff from his own field for a transfer to Insúa’s career, who only had to push it into the net.
