Tigre and Independiente did not take advantage at the Coloso José Dellagiovanna in Victoria where they tied 1-1 in a match that was barely discreet and in which the two ended up adding a unit that was of very little use to them, especially to the host that is still in relegation zone by annual table.
Gabriel Ávalos opened the account for the Avellaneda team, with a header 24 minutes into the first half. On the 7th of the complementary part, Florián Monzón gave the tie to his team, which was four points behind Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero, Independiente Rivadavia and Sarmiento and it is starting to get complicated.
In the opening 45 minutes, both teams reflected their poor present. There was no precision, there was a lack of clarity to face each attack and there were almost no scoring situations in front of the goals.
Independiente had the clearest chance and took advantage of it around the 24th minute when right back Santiago Salle took a cross about ten meters past midfield and Ávalos, with a header, changed the stick to the goalkeeper to seal the 1-0 with the one that closed that first stage.
The game improved a little in the complementary part and at 7 Monzón, the son of an Independiente emblem, leveled things up, who capitalized on the defensive errors that Rodrigo Rey usually saves the Avellaneda team.
This time, after a ball lost in the middle of the field by Ávalos, the Matador tried a reply from the right that ended with a low cross from Santiago González that no defender was able to clear and the ball was served to the scorer of the Victoria team so that tie the tie.
With ten to go, Gonzalo Maroni had his chance to put his team ahead, but he received the ball with the mark on him, he couldn’t get his shot off target and the ball went close.
It ended up being a draw and it wasn’t bad, although in reality they took too much away. El Rojo is still out of the international cup zone and Tigre is complicated, after a date in which the results worked against them.
