Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata tied without goals with Goiás from Brazil, as a visitor, for Group G of the Copa Sudamericana and was on the verge of elimination, where it can only aspire, according to other results, to occupy the second position in the zone.
In the game that had a discreet development and several controversies, Goiás was closer to the goal than Gimnasia in the first half of the game, but it lacked precision to break Tomás Durso’s goal.
The local team preserved several starters, while the player from La Plata also had several changes, especially in the middle of the field and Sebastián Romero, who was not on the bench due to being suspended, proposed a 4-1-4-1 scheme with which he had the ball but could not generate almost anything in attack. The most salvageable was an action by Cristian Tarragona after 38 minutes, with a shot that went very close to the goal.
Goiás went deeper and had the first chances through the stopped ball when at 19 minutes, in a corner kick, the ball was left in the area and Guillherme missed the goal from a good position.
Goiás leads Group G with nine points, while Universitario de Lima has seven, Independiente Santa Fe and Gimnasia four. The Colombians received the Peruvians at dawn this Friday.
