The Wolf got over it. Not just the Drill. Not only to the losing streak of three dates without being able to get the victory. But also to the context. Y after the barbarism experienced in the Forest just a few hours ago, Gymnastics Silver victory 2-0 a Banfieldat the Florencio Aloneand made it clear that he does not get off the fight of the Professional League despite running from behind.
Pipo Gorosito’s team traveled to the South aware that this was their last chance to fight for the tournament, after not being able to deal the final blow against Boca. And, far from being decimated by the situation, the Wolf dedicated himself to doing what he did so well in the first part of the tournament: playing football. Facing a Drill in transition, between Claudio Vivas and Javier Sanguinetti, he kept his patience and struck at key moments.
Between the Pearl and Benjamín they celebrated the first of the Wolf (Gymnastics Press).
Gymnastics came out with a 4-3-3, under the premise of keeping the ball and putting pressure on Banfield. That way, and early, the Wolf got the upper hand. Erik Ramírez put pressure on Luis Mago after a bad control of the center back. Benjamín Domínguez recovered the ball on the edge of the area, touched for the center and La Perla beat Facundo Cambeses’ fence.
The goal came at the right time, because the rest of the PT was too even. And even the Drill had its chances to equalize the score, although they did not represent a greater danger for Rodrigo Rey. But who would appear at the end of the first half was Brahian Alemán, the director of the Lobo orchestra, who once again took advantage of a poor start from Banfield and, after recovering a ball inside the area, finished off a cross to celebrate the 2-0 scoreline.
Cristian Vella, the interim DT of Drill, kicked the board at halftime and changed scheme. He went from 4-4-2 to 5-3-2, with the idea of having a better start, maintaining possession and proposing more duels from the outside, but he could never disturb a Wolf determined to keep the 2-0 and who understood that he did not suffer too much.
The clearest that Banfield had, and that could lead the game to an exciting end, was at 28′ ST. Guillermo Enrique crossed Ignacio Rodríguez in the area and Pablo Echavarría, without hesitation, charged a penalty. Nevertheless, Rey put on the hero’s costume, threw himself on his right and covered the missile that Ramiro Enrique executed. And after the maximum penalty was not enough for Sola to celebrate, the Drill fans lost patience and insulted both the players and the leaders in the last minutes.
In this way, the Wolf climbed and placed 5th, with 40 points, and is determined not to go down from the high steps. “We want to be champions,” said Pipo during the week. Y, With a possible victory against Boca, on Wednesday the 19th, the dream of half of La Plata, hit by incidents with the police, could come true.. Banfield, for his part, will have to shuffle and give again after the arrival of his new coach.
