Banfield’s triumph at the José María Minella was anecdotal. Aldosivi’s descent was sentenced a long time ago. Javier Sanguinetti’s team did not do much to win but they managed it. As it happened repeatedly this season. Is that it was easy to beat Aldosivi in the tournament.
It is not by chance that it is the team that lost the most times and the one that conceded the most goals. If on the previous date, nothing less than against the leader, Boca, in La Bombonera, he lost because he scored two goals. Those blunders were common throughout the year.
That’s why Nobody was surprised that, two dates from the end of the Professional League, Aldosivi no longer has sporting chances to remain in the elite of Argentine soccer.
In the port they light candles to the AFA, which has not yet been officially issued on the number of teams and the format that the first division will have in 2023. Although everything seems to indicate that the tournament will be changed but with 28 teams, maintaining the declines this year.
If, as had been handled forcefully before, 30 teams are taken, relegation could be annulled or a kind of promotion could be made between the two worst in the Professional League and two that remain at the door in the playoffs of the First National. There have been no definitions yet. It is the only chance that Aldosivi has to stay in first.
For now, sportingly, Aldosivi lost the category.

Against Banfield, paradoxically, he offered the first 15 minutes with fluidity in the circulation in the rival field. Since he hadn’t been seen for a long time. But, since he was seen often in 2022, he made a mistake, paid and did not get up.
They were 23 ‘when a misunderstanding between José Devecchi and Nicolás Valentini ended with a corner from the left for the visit. Gregorio Tanco entered the race from behind, put a full front that Devecchi cleared in the first instance by pure reflex but the Banfileño central defender himself capitalized on the rebound and scored the 1-0.
BANFIELD GOAL! Tanco scored in this way the 1-0 over Aldosivi, who with this result is losing the category in the #LigaProfesional.

From there to the end, Aldosivi had some moments in which he sought equality with substance. But he never had the lucidity of the first minutes with the ball in his possession.
Santiago Silva was close to the goal on a couple of occasions but found good responses from Facundo Cambeses. The goalkeeper also covered a medium-distance shot by Leandro Maciel in the complement and Martín Cauteruccio had one, with his back to the goal and inside the small area, but he got entangled to define and was neutralized by the brand.
Banfield, with his rival playing in search of a tie, had a couple of open counterattacks that he did not know how to take advantage of.
Thus, with little, the visit took the three points of Mar del Plata. As has happened repeatedly this season. A constant that could not have another destiny that was not the descent. Now we will have to wait for a swerve from the AFA that cancels the declines and puts together a tournament with 30 teams in 2023. It seems difficult but, in the case of Argentine football…
