San Martín and a point that adds: tied without goals in his visit to Independiente Rivadavia | Cuyo’s diary

With the extra seasoning that always means facing a team from Mendoza, San Martín equalized goalless against Independiente Rivadavia, for the 19th. date of the First National.

With this result, those led by Antuña added for the fourth consecutive game (two draws and two wins) and are approaching qualifying positions for the next phase. In addition, it was the third game of this season as a visitor on Mendoza soil for Verdinegro, who finished undefeated after the victory against Gimnasia and the tie with Maipú.

Tonight at the Bautista Gargantini, against Independiente Rivadavia, San Martín played a very solid match defensively and had the clearest couple of chances to open the scoring.

In the first half little and nothing the two teams reached the rival goal. San Martín focused on taking care of his area, without having to hang from the crossbar, while Independiente Rivadavia did all the wear and tear looking for a chance he never had.

In the complement, the San Juan team did find associations to reach the rival goal. And he had the clearest opportunity of the match, with a shot by Alvarez that had already passed the goalkeeper and on the line, the head of a ‘La Lepra’ defender, stopped the ball destined for goal.

A half turn and diagonal in the area by Matías Giménez was not a goal either because goalkeeper Jorge De Olivera reached the near post.

In the last minutes, the locals, harangued by their fans, once again forced San Martín to prioritize taking care of their goal and the goalless draw ended up being the final result.

The next commitment of San Martín will be this Sunday, from 11, when San Martín receives Ferro.
