Tigre took advantage of the efficiency of his striker Mateo Retegui to win a celebrated victory for La Plata. With two goals from the striker, Diego Martínez’s team beat Estudiantes 2-1, who were unable to celebrate in Abel Balbo’s official debut as coach. Mauro Boselli marked the transitory tie for the La Plata team.
Estudiantes sought to take ownership of the development with the task of their midfielders, but lacked depth to worry Marinelli. On the contrary, without having so much the ball and with the soccer channels neutralized, the speed of his forwards allowed Tigre to be much more incisive.
This is how the first goal arrived, when Colidio won on the left flank, he made the right break for the arrival of Retegui, who settled in and took a spectacular right hand to beat Andújar. It was the prize for the effectiveness of the visitors, who always looked more dangerous despite not having the ball for so long.
The equalizer that Boselli achieved, with a definition that deviated in Blondel, seemed like it could give Estudiantes another boost, but a failure of their central defenders before a cross from the left allowed Retegui to score the second goal, which he did not shout either for his past in Pincha.
