In a match as exciting as it was controversial, Barracas Central beat Sarmiento 5-3 this Saturday in Junín, in a match corresponding to the second date of the Professional Football League (LPF). Bruno Sepúlveda, author of a triplet, was the great figure of the visit, which also had goals from Iván Tapia and Francisco Álvarez, while Luciano Gondou also got a hat trick at the local. In addition, defender Juan Insaurralde was sent off 30 minutes into the match at Sarmiento, who complained about various mistakes by referee Pablo Dóvalo.
Barracas added their first victory, key to their aspirations to avoid relegation in the general table, and on the other hand, Sarmiento lost at home and left several defensive concerns. The visiting team came out with a completely antagonistic attitude to the Juninense team, who was surprised by the voracity of their rival. Thus, in a football gale they went 2-0 up.
Franco Quinteros’s mistakes -he was injured after 16 minutes-, Sarmiento’s disorder in the midfield, and the good footing of the Barracas creators were the foundations for the well-deserved advantage.
At home, the best synthesis of the first 35 minutes was the impotence of Lisandro López, who did not stop running after the ball and arguing with his teammates, who were observed to be outmatched on the sporting and mental level.
The match was totally distorted in the second half, between defensive errors, controversial refereeing rulings and a festival of goals for Barracas’ final victory at the Eva Perón by 5-3. On the next date, Sarmiento will visit Colón, while Barracas will receive Union.
