He suffered more than necessary, but won and is the leader with an ideal score. Estudiantes reunited with their fans in the 3-2 win against Arsenal de Sarandí and is the only team with the ideal score in the League Cup with four wins in a row. Matías Pellegrini, Leandro Díaz and Mauro Boselli scored the goals at the “Dr. Jorge Luis Hirschi.
Boselli, who came on after half an hour of the complement, gave the win to a Estudiantes team that was superior against a modest Arsenal, but made it very difficult in defense. The striker, who returned to León this season, is the team’s top scorer with four goals in four games, and also leads that table in the competition, taking one from Boca’s Darío Benedetto.
Zielinski’s team showed variations in the starting eleven taking into account the second leg against Audax Italiano (lost 1-0 in Chile) for the Copa Libertadores, although they ended up opting for a mix to defend the top of Zone 2, which has at the top with 12 units.
Pellegrini, along with Godoy and the inexhaustible fighter Díaz led the way, with a pleasant appearance by the coffee grower Deossa, in his first appearance as a starter. Basically, León showed shortcomings, so they will have to adjust some points so as not to suffer in the next games. Likewise, the goalkeeper Mariano Andújar did not show much security, and was one of the weak points of the game.
As was said, the Pincha stringed together four consecutive wins over Independiente (2-1), Huracán (3-2) and Lanús (2-1), and today Arsenal, which is why he has become one of the entertainers of the contest, and Now he will focus on the match he will have with Audax on Wednesday at UNO at 9:30 p.m.
THE FINAL ANALYSIS FROM 1 AND 57
BEST MOMENTS
Under a good framework of the public that accompanies Zielinski’s team, Pincha dominated the game throughout the first half, although without being able to hurt a very modest and limited rival. With good intentions, and with a formation with variants facing the return of the cup duel, Estudiantes could not specify what they had against Werner’s goal.
With Matías Pellegrini in eleven, and a pleasant appearance by Colombian Deossa, he managed the midfield but without that depth that he lacked to break the score.
At the beginning of the complements, at 5 minutes, Matías Pellegrini caught a bad rejection from the defense, and with a left foot he nailed it to the angle to beat Werner’s goal. With that goal, he put the partial 1 to 0 for León, although the joy only lasted a few seconds since at ‘8, Ibáñez defined against the humanity of Andújar after Rogel’s poor clearance.
Already with partial equality, Estudiantes decidedly launched the attack and that was how at ’21 they reached the second: Jorge Morel lowered it well and after puncturing it, Leonardo Godoy took the center in the air and Leandro Díaz broke the goal with his head. Another celebration and hugs for the striker who gradually won the affection of the fans, who applauded him after the conquest.
THE LOOK FROM THE PLAYING FIELD
As with the first goal, Arsenal quickly made it 2-2 after Lomonaco’s definition. This occurred after an error shared by Godoy and Andújar, being stopped before the goalkeeper’s powerful shot to the near post, which was left uncovered.
At 27 minutes Mauro Boselli entered -who was being cared for for the match against Audax Italiano- and Manuel Castro left his place. They had to spend only five minutes, so that at ’32 the recently admitted striker connects and deflects a center to Godoy’s career, to make it 3 to 2 before the delirium of the people in UNO.
Already with the score in favor, Pincha tried to close the game and avoid making mistakes in the background that allowed Arsenal -at times- to take something from La Plata.
Now Estudiantes, who will continue without rest, will have to turn around the Libertadores phase 2 series on Wednesday against Audax Italiano, who won 1-0 at home in the Chilean city of Rancagua in the first leg.
