In an even start and before a packed Marcelo Bielsa stadium, the first occasion was for the visit from a center by Bou that Pratto headed down in the area and Janson, stuck by Ditta, defined very high.
on your side, Newell’s pressed with a lot of people in the middle and tried to circulate the ball, although he lacked precisionfor which reason he only managed to bring danger with centers that sought the head of both Sordo and the Ecuadorian Reasco.
But the party was a fiasco because, straddling the rush and imprecision, both ended the plays badly. The duel was gritted teeth, however the process lacked brilliance and the first part did not even have corner kicks, so it was not too surprising that the protagonists went to the changing rooms without being able to break the zero of their fences.
At the beginning of the plugin the Montenegro boy (19 years old) was injured and instead the experienced Pablo Pérez entered, which almost doubles his age (37). But no matter how much the red and black partiality pushed with its breath from the stands, the procedure continued to cause yawns.
Until product of a free kickthe Paraguayan Velázquez lowered it headfirst as he could, Velez’s defense fell asleep and Sforza just had to push it into the net.
It had been the first complete arrival of the Rosarios in more than an hour of play. And it was enough to start adding three in the tournament and deal the first defeat to Fortín de Liniers.
