In Mar del Plata, Nelson Vivas's team won 2-0 by goals from Gaston Fernandez and Elijah Umeres, and won the Gold Cup. The Basque again showed serious defensive shortcomings. Gago returned after four months, but was injured ugly Jara.
Few teams of Argentine football, now and always have been so practical and Estudiantes de La Plata. He never needed too bright the white and red together to achieve great things. So it was last night, when he managed a comfortable 2-0 against Boca and stayed with the Gold Cup, the second triangular summer, Mar del Plata on a chilly night.
He did it against a team of the Bank which improved in item behaviour, which after all-and by the return of Fernando Gago- outgoing note was a typical January duel, which does not leave much for a substantial analysis.
Boca went on court much calmer than in previous presentations. Trying to set the pace of the game from the pressure on the output of Students, but without abusing intensity without faults and without studs first. Chavez, Pavon, Reed and fetching quickly Messidoro defenders of Students, Boca began to find ways from society that armed Pablo Perez and Alexis Messidoro.
Although promising, it cost you to hold the tandem, based on precision and touch first with short passes, he had excited the fans who filled the popular and 80% of the stalls of José María Minella. From there, and with good projections Federico Carrizo, Boca could have found the advantage, but lacked arrival. The former Rosario Central, who returned after his stint in Mexican soccer, yes, at times showed why Rodolfo Arruabarrena not want him to leave last year. Carrizo precisely, after a cross from Pablo Pérez, scored a frentazo front that covered spectacularly Andujar.
Costing him enough to return to Boca was losing the ball. Messidoro, with all its promises when he has the ball at his feet, has a soul and it snaps into its deepest essence, what was noted at the time of reversal. That way, students took to the climbs of the boy Lucas Diarte and startups Umeres Elijah, who formed a line of three midfielders behind Carlos Auzqui, striker who in recent times had become used to play as a midfielder (and again do when he recovers from a sprained Lucas Viatri).
Undeservedly, students found the advantage in their first approach to the arch Guillermo Sara, after a bad pass that put Andrés Pérez Cubas on the ropes and a loss of ball left the numerical superiority of Vivas. He made the most difficult students, but it came out well, because the shot from just outside the area of Gata Fernandez, when everything indicated that reach way down arch- led a perfect thread. Auzqui assistance had great lucidity.
The second half was very light and almost decided the game with that mistake Colazo, that still leaves unclear why prefer not to play at left back. Although entries Gago and Palacios, which led to Boca to a 4-3-3 with Gago itself, and Perez Cubas in the central triangle (known Pintita scheme of selection), the Basque improved somewhat, but not enough. So the trophy went to the Atletico area of La Plata. In La Boca, of course, looks are aimed at improving the image superclásico Saturday in Mendoza, continuing challenges summer.
