In the Colossus Marcelo Bielsa, Newell’s and San Lorenzo tied 0-0 and raised the curtain on the second date of the championship. It was a rough encounter and with few situations. The VAR had two key interventions and there were lighting failures at the end. Lionel Messi was invited by the leper leadership, but he was not present at the stadium.
At the beginning, La Lepra approached and controlled the ball in the rival field. The first notice of him was with a shot of Guillermo Balzi that passed near the crossbar. However, following 15 minutes Newell’s lost their captain, Paul Perezwho had to leave due to muscle discomfort in the right calf and was replaced by Marcos Portillo.
At 34 minutes there was a controversy over an alleged hand Christian Lema in your area, but the judge Silvio Truccodismissed the complaint of the Cyclone players.
While San Lorenzo tried to get there with some deflected shots, Newell’s had more possession, but mightn’t find a way to unbalance. In the epilogue of the first he had a free kick in his favor near the area, but Lema’s shot hit the barrier.
At the beginning of the complement Newell’s returned to the attack and Portillo headed off a corner kick, but Sebastian Torrico the cry drowned him out. The play continued and Portillo took it near the area and his shot went close.
The first intervention of the VAR that annulled an expulsion and penalty
At 6 minutes, Federico Gattoni he struggled outside the area with Francis Gonzalez, who fell inside, but there was no infraction by the San Lorenzo defender. In the first instance Trucco charged a penalty and expelled Gattoni, but received the call from the VAR and in the analysis of the images, the judge rectified his decision: he withdrew the red card from the Barça footballer and annulled the execution from the twelve steps .
Then, following 15 minutes, Christian Lema went strong and down once morest Jalil Elijah who was left with the mark of the blow on his shins. Trucco once once more received the call from the VAR and the judge carefully watched the repetitions, he took the red from the Newell’s defender, whose players and coach, Javier SanguinettiThey expressed their discontent. “It’s a shame,” shot the leper DT.
At 40 minutes it stopped because two light towers went out completely. They were the ones at the ends of one of the stalls. Some lights began to turn on and although all the lighting did not return, Trucco asked the captains if they agreed to restart the match and they accepted. It was ten minutes in which the game was delayed.
in the epilogue Ramiro Macagno captured a poisonous center that might have ended in a goal by San Lorenzo, who did not know how to take advantage of the extra man he had for more than half an hour in the second half. One that went above Ezequiel Cerutti It was the last thing for the Cyclone. Newell’s, despite playing with ten, might have won it in the end with a shot off the crossbar from Genaro Rossi.
It was an emotional tie due to the desire and they put in, but boring in terms of the number of arrivals. It was a rough match and zero equality was adjusted to the final result.
On the next date, both will play on Tuesday 14. San Lorenzo will host Arsenal (3:00 p.m.). While Newell’s will visit Talleres de Córdoba (19.00).
