Huracán achieved what already seemed utopian and returned to victory after 15 games (10 losses). It was 1-0 on the Platense field with a goal by the Uruguayan Diego Cóccaro from a penalty after 70 minutes to give Diego Martínez’s cycle its first joy, just when four players were separated from the squad during the week (Sauro, Pata Castro, Garro and Gudiño).
The penalty play was worthy of a melodrama. The thing lasted 13 minutes and consisted of: a charge via VAR, a save canceled due to overtaking (to Cordero), a projectile that fell on Cordero himself, a dispute to see the new kicker, another delay due to incidents, and Cóccaro’s final shot after Tobio took Gauto out, who wanted to kick. Crazy.
With this result, Globo remains in a relegation position (penultimate in the annual table and falling to Second since the last, Arsenal, is also bottom in the averages) but gained air and was only three points behind its closest rival, Colón, who plays Tuesday against Tigre.
Students put in fours
In the other game on Saturday, the winner also dressed in red and white, like Huracán and Argentinos (although more gray than anything else). Estudiantes resolved their match with Belgrano with great ease and, as in the week against Barcelona in Ecuador, they won again 4-0 in La Plata with two goals from Benjamín Rollheiser (one Olympic), another from the Uruguayan Méndez and a wonderful free kick from José Sosa.
In this way, El Pincha closed an unbeatable week in which he managed to reach the round of 16 of the South American Cup. Instead, Belgrano is going through his worst moment since he returned to the First Division: he suffered his fourth defeat in five dates and the sixth of his last seven outings as a visitor.
Two misses by goalkeeper Losada, before a corner kick that Rollheiser executed from the right and then before a cross from Godoy that left the area short for Rollheiser’s entrance, very soon led to the victory of the La Plata team against an inconsistent Belgrano and without arguments. Returning for the second half, the coach of the light blue ones, Guillermo Farré, made three changes and broke the initial line of five. But there was no case.
Heading Méndez made it 3-0 seven minutes into the match and the people from Cordoba finally lowered their arms and surrendered to defeat. Estudiantes flourished and had the rest left for Sosa’s great free kick goal and to create some situations that could have stretched the win to unimaginable levels. Belgrano suffered his worst defeat of the year and finished with one less player due to the expulsion of Erik Godoy.
