Platense reversed a bad start and this Saturday beat Atlético Tucumán 4-1, in one of their best games since returning to the top flight. It seemed that it would not be a good day for Squid when Leonardo Heredia opened the scoring before the first quarter of an hour, but then the locals changed history with goals from Matías Tissera, Horacio Tijanovich, Hernán Lamberti and Tomás Sandoval.
As in all matches on the date, the players of both teams wore a shirt with the image of Diego Armando Maradona, as a tribute to the Argentine star of world football and 10 minutes into the first half the match stopped to applaud “Pelusa “.
In the beginning, Atlético Tucumán locked Platense in his area and created situations with stopped balls. That is why it was not surprising that he took the lead in the 12th minute, when Ramiro Carrera sent a cross for Cristian Menéndez’s header. The ball led to Augusto Lotti, who finished off for Leonardo Heredia to push to open the scoring.
But after 20 minutes, Platense raised the hand of Nicolás Bertolo, the architect of the tie, thanks to a good run that ended with an assist for Tissera to define before the departure of Luchetti. Vicente López’s team continued to be superior to its rival and ended up ratifying it at the beginning of the second half, when Tijanovich took a left-footed shot from the edge of the area that got next to Luchetti’s far post. In addition, in the following action, Atlético was left with ten men for the expulsion of Matías Orihuela for an infraction against Iván Gómez.
With everything in their favor, Platense sealed the win with a spectacular right hand from Lamberti from the edge of the area and, at the end, with a header from Sandoval, when Atlético was only waiting for the end of the match.
