Platense scored a great victory and exacerbated the crisis of Tigre, which has accumulated seven games without wins, with three consecutive falls. Nicolás Castro, with a shot from distance that had a very weak response from visiting goalkeeper Gonzalo Marinelli, sealed the 1-0 victory for Martín Palermo’s team, which added three vital points to escape the relegation zone.
The match had Tigre with the ball and Platense with the strategy of waiting and counterattacking. In this way, the two had their chances but it was the locals who struck at the start of the second half. Castro’s shot did not seem to carry any danger, but Marinelli was confident and ended up looking for the ball inside his goal.
From then on, the positions were accentuated, with the visit taking the initiative. However, Diego Martínez’s team had no spark or chances to reach a tie, which intensified the crisis of play and results that it is going through in recent days. On the contrary, Platense became strong again at home and added three essential points to stay out of the relegation zone.
