Gimnasia beat Riestra 2-1 at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium with goals from Leonardo Morales and Eric Ramírez, within the framework of date 12 of Group A of the 2024 Professional League Cup.

Gimnasia took center stage in El Bosque once morest a Riestra team that started very compact and bet on the counterattack. Little happened in the first half until following the first quarter of an hour Leonardo Madelón’s team warned with two clear situations, both at the feet of Erik Ramírez.

In the first, at 20, Ramírez defined the race from above following a long ball from Lucas Castro. While just two minutes later, on the 19th he headed it down inside the area and on the 11th he finished with a volley, causing Ignacio Arce to make a great save.

The local team, who was already a clear dominator of the game and kept his rival away from Nelson Insfrán, to the point that they did not even kick him on goal, claimed a penalty that referee Andrés Carlos Gariano did not validate. Pablo De Blasis threw a cross from the right, Ramírez brought it down in two halves and Franco Troyansky dotted a ball that hit Milton Céliz’s left arm, at 26.

Gimnasia generated with the figure of Castro but did not specify. This was also the case with Yonatan Rodríguez’s left-footed shot that led to the corner that broke the game. The players moved the ball quickly on the flag and Morales appeared between the centre-backs to head into the net, just before the locker room.

The beginning of the second half showed a more active Riestra and Gimnasia regulating its intensity. The visit sought equality with two long balls to Jonathan Herrera from the right, one was cleared by Juan Pintado into the corner and the other was controlled by Insfrán in a quick bailout, and with violent deflected shots from Nicolás Benegas and Guillermo Pereira.

Cristian Fabbiani’s team did not give up despite its limitations and, once morest a Lobo that seemed content with the slightest advantage, they got their prize with a great goal from Herrera, at 19. The Sultan held off three defenders on the edge of the large area and with a step forward, Morales’ mark was removed to nail it in the corner.

However, Riestra’s joy was short-lived, as Lobo took the lead once more in the same way: Benjamín Domínguez’s cross from the right and Ramírez’s popcorn to make it 2-1, at 28. Thus, There was no time for much more and Lobo headed towards victory, a harvest of three points that left them in the middle of the table in Zone A.
