Perfect night and pure cry of goal: Gimnasia crushed Patronato 6-0 in Paraná in the match corresponding to date 13 of the League Cup and with one game remaining, the Mens Sana team is still alive in the fight.
Purely efficient and taking advantage of almost all the advantages offered by the Patronato defense, Pipo’s Wolf achieved everything his dream needed to continue standing. The sum of the talent of Brahian Alemán and the generous work of Cristian Tarragona, was lethal for the notorious shortcomings of the team led by Facundo Sava.
To be winning just two minutes from the initial whistle was important for Gimnasia to stand in Paraná willing to take advantage of the striking shortcomings of the local formation. The attack made up of Carbonero, Eric Ramírez, Tarragona and Alemán (the Paraguayan Sosa did not weigh in the processing of the first chapter) marked the degree of ambition of those who needed to win yes or yes.
Patronato could only create danger with a left-footed shot from Jonathan Herrera, which went close to Rey’s right post. But it was just that. Gymnastics strategically dominated the actions feeling sure that, when he wanted to, he could hurt her.
The three to zero of that first half installed very strong sensations in relation to the condition that the owner of the house would enter to try a miraculous rebound in what remained to be played.
Combining his offensive potential, increasingly efficient, and the host’s tremendous flaws, Lobo de Gorosito will reach the last date with real possibilities of qualifying for the decisive instances of the Professional League tournament. Led by the strength and talent of Brahian Alemán, the top quality contribution of Cristian Tarragona, the demanding display of Eric Ramírez and some appearances with the hallmark of Johan Carbonero, the Wolf, without a drop of stress, achieved everything he wanted. wanted.
Having won by scoring radically changed his goal difference (now he has more than two) and positions him much better to fight with Defensa y Justicia, Sarmiento and Argentinos Juniors for one of the two places that are up for grabs between those who will finish as classified in Zone 1.
Gimnasia’s scoring account ended at six, but it could have been several more. On an ideal night to raise the self-esteem of the entire team, each Gimnasia fan is already thinking about the last date, when he must receive Newell’s. He thoroughly enjoyed his Mesopotamian stay. They were six to succeed. Six to keep dreaming. Six goals that will keep him expectant and motivated as he has never been in this championship.

Highlights
Gimnasia, dressed in the starting line-up, began the game with possession of the ball and pushed his rival over his own area in the first moments. Two minutes later, Brahian Alemán scored a great goal from a free kick -almost without an angle- and made it 1-0. The Uruguayan and captain was embraced by all his teammates.
After receiving the slap in the face, El Patron woke up and more with pride than with play, he tried to generate danger with Lucas Barrios as a flag. Despite the attempts, the albiazul defense did not have great hot flashes.
At 18 minutes, Eric Ramírez missed it incredibly under the goal, although then the judge later took an advanced position.
When the clock showed ’23, Cristian Tarragona, after a pass from Ramírez, extended the lead on the scoreboard and signed the partial 2-0.
Already in the complement, the Wolf, far from being satisfied with the result that until then had been in favor, chose to continue attacking. And so it was that after 5 minutes Cristian Tarragona -again- extended the advantage after a pressure that generated the error of the local goalkeeper. “Tarragol” is the team’s top scorer with 8 goals.

Patronato’s almost childish mistakes also allowed Gorosito’s team to gain in confidence and emboldened with the large scoreboard, they reached the fifth at minute 9 of the complement after a shot by Johan Carbonero who, in this way, was able to convert his long-awaited goal so much that I came looking for
After 20 minutes, with Gymnastics comfortable in all aspects, Gorosito decided to put his hand in and give some players a break. In this way Benjamín Domínguez, Lautaro Chávez and Franco Soldano entered by Ramón Sosa, Johan Carbonero and Cristian Tarragona.
At ’28 it was 6 to 0 for Lobo. Eric Ramírez made a wall with Domínguez and defined to stretch the advantage and confirm that he is alive in the fight. Minutes later Franco Soldano scored on the scoreboard, but was in an advanced position.
Thus came the epilogue of the match with a winning Gimnasia and with a very good advantage to be well positioned to fight for a place, perhaps the last, among the four in their area that will play the quarterfinals.
El Lobo had not won 6-0 away from home since 1996, when they did so against Boca Juniors at La Bombonera. At the same time, it is the team that in this tournament converted the “Patrón” the most, which has the most beaten defense, on 24 occasions, and is the one that has lost the most so far, 9 matches.
