Touching. For integrity, for dedication, for sacrifice. For not resigning himself despite the fact that the panorama had appeared black on the night of the Colossus. Newell’s obtained a triumph of enormous value, especially from the symbolic ones. That is why the three points are doubled, because he got them playing almost 50 minutes with one less due to the expulsion of Willer Company. And with enormous nobility, for never giving up, they beat Banfield 2-0 and left happy. Because he won it with good looks and heart.
The first obstacle he encountered Newell’s was the pressure proposed by Banfield. A suffocating mark to not let him out and, secondly, hinder him in the middle so that he does not handle the ball. The local virtue was that he never despaired. He kept his patience and played this way and that, until he found a way to filter the pass.
The key to the red and black team to break the siege passed through the feet of Cristian Ferreira. Moveable and committed to receive it and head towards the rival field, the midfielder cleaned up the game and freed up spaces for the others. But it was precisely his companions who did not enter into the same tune and each advance lost consistency as they approached the Cambeses area.
From the quarter of an hour, and after Cabrera headed an Aleman free kick that went relatively close, Newell’s exerted greater control of the ball. He recovered it quickly, Ferreira took care of leading each advance and Recalde joined him, unloading with precision. But he did not reach. Lacked depth. He did not get it either inside or on the wings. Menéndez, more active than Sordo, failed in the resolution. None stepped on the area decisively. So much so that the first risk action was from a stopped ball. Ferreira kicked the free kick from the right and Sforza headed it over the crossbar.
The red and black predominance had a lapse that caused enormous concern. No more than that, because Andrés Chávez finished off a series of combinations on the visit with a left-footed shot from the outside that passed near the left post.
Ferreira did not want to be outdone and also forced Cambeses’s reaction with a shot below. What nobody imagined at that point is that from 9′ into the second half, the game would be presented to Newell’s uphill due to the expulsion of Ditta for a double yellow card. Heinze put Facundo Mansilla in for Menéndez to assemble the defense and Newell’s became a struggle, fight and effort.
The red and black team suffered the lack of a footballer and Banfield was coming to him with danger. But the ineffectiveness of his players deprived him of opening the scoring. Tijanovich missed it in incredible shape against Hoyos.
Newell’s did not give in to adversity. He had an enormous attitude and, at the least expected moment, he struck out. Sordo hit a free kick into the hole area and Velázquez rose higher than ever to cross it headfirst and into the goal, to the delirium of the entire Colossus.
With the knife between his teeth and an enormous beauty, Newell’s came forward. He kept on fighting. And even suffering in that ball that Velázquez took under the goal of Hoyos. The stadium was hell. The courage of the leprosy moved everyone. Needless to say when Mosquera broke free and pushed her for the second goal.
Then there was no more anguish but satisfaction and enjoyment waiting for the end for a triumph that Newell’s won with his heart.
