BANFIELD 1- ATHLETIC TUCUMÁN 1

Banfield tied 1-1 at the Florencio Sola against Atlético Tucumán in its return to the Professional League after the Copa América break and in Gustavo Múnua’s debut as coach replacing Julio César Falcioni.

At 17 minutes into the first half, defender Alejandro Maciel opened the scoring for Taladro after heading in a cross from the right by Matías González. The visiting goalkeeper, Tomás Durso, was unable to stop the ball, which went in close to the left post.

But the joy of the local fans for the initial advantage turned into sadness after the Decano’s equalizer in the 64th minute. Renzo Tesuri appeared in the area after a run by Moisés Brandán, put his head and overcame the resistance of Facundo Sanguinetti for the final 1-1.

With this draw, Banfield has 5 points in the Professional League and will seek revenge against Boca Juniors, at La Bombonera, next Wednesday, July 31. Meanwhile, those led by Facundo Sava will receive Instituto de Córdoba on Thursday 25 in Tucumán.
