Gymnastics achieved a victory as difficult as it was important by defeating Defense and Justice 1-0, a result that allowed the team from La Plata to remain as the sole leader, at least until Newell’s receives Patronato on Monday. The youthful Tomás Muro scored the only goal for Néstor Gorosito’s team, which had goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey as the star figure.
With the chance to stay as a pointer, Gymnastics seemed to feel that responsibility. With less intensity than usual, the locals were unable to make a difference against a rival that arrived decimated, with almost all their players from midfield forward absent for having been sold in this transfer market. However, with the presence of Tripicchio in the midfield and the arrivals of Togni and Uvita Fernández, Defense was the most dangerous team, although Rey’s saves maintained the equality.
As the minutes ticked by, Gymnastics seemed to get over their nerves and began to command the development, especially after the entry of Muro. And precisely the youth was able to capture that advantage on the scoreboard with a pumped shot that deflected into a defender and unseated Unsain.
At a disadvantage, Beccacece’s team did not give up and went in search of a draw. And he would have succeeded if it hadn’t been for Rey, who completed his great night with two great saves, first against a free kick from Kevin Gutiérrez that he managed to swat before it hit the post and then against a lobbed shot from Tripicchio that he deflected wide. the second stick. Thus, the Wolf added his third consecutive victory and went to sleep as the only leader in the championship.
