Just a few weeks ago, Newell’s was leading the League and dreaming big. Today, everything is disappointment. This Monday he lost 2 to 1 against Defense and Justice in the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa and added his fifth game in a row without winning, defeat in the Clásico Rosarino included. For Florencio Varela’s team, the future is completely opposite: after a lousy start to the League (without wins in the first six dates), Sebastián Beccacece’s team added their third win of the last four games and sits in the middle of the board.
He hit the Falcon fast and twice, at the start of each half and both times with the help of the unlucky Willer Ditta. The Colombian from Newell’s bungled a rejection after 5 minutes and Uvita Fernández sent Gastón Togni’s center to save. While the second half had barely begun, the recently entered Manuel Duarte tried his luck from long distance and chance rewarded him with a deflection in Ditta that dislodged goalkeeper Herrera.
After the 0-2, Newell’s seemed to lower their arms, although the conservativeness of the visitor’s approach made the difference in the scoreboard sound exaggerated. In the throes of the match came Garro’s discount to put a minimum suspense at the close.
