Unión de Santa Fe beat Sarmiento de Junín 1-0 in injury time at the 15 de Abril stadium and moved away from the relegation zone, in a match played this Sunday for the eighth date of Zone B of the Copa de la Copa. League.
When it seemed that the match was ending goalless, Nicolás Orsini, who had previously missed a penalty, scored with a header to give Cristian “Kily” González’s team the victory.
In the first half, the home team had better ball handling, pressed and reached the rival area, but was not precise in the final definition; while the visitor speculated with counterattacks to bring danger to the Santa Fe team’s area, but also lacked accuracy.
In the complement the same scheme was repeated, with the host looking for victory and Sarmiento standing “against” to surprise the defense of the Tatengue team.
In a stopped ball executed by Enzo Roldán, the ball hit Juan Insaurralde’s hand and referee Pablo Echavarría sanctioned the penalty taken by Orsini, although goalkeeper José Devecchi stopped the ball.
The play had to be repeated, since the former San Lorenzo goalkeeper jumped and went over the line during the execution of the penalty, but the referee was not warned by the VAR, nor by the linesman.
In the final moments, when the game ended goalless, from a corner kick taken from the left by Kevin Zenón, the center was headed by Orsini in the middle of the area and thus scored the winning goal to redeem himself from the failure in the penalty that had previously failed.
The result placed the Santa Fe team in seventh position with 11 points in Zone B and in the Annual Table it rose to twentieth position with 41 points, to move away from the relegation zone; while the Green team placed eighth with 10 points and remains twenty-first with 40 points.
On the next date, Unión de Santa Fe will face Boca Juniors in La Bombonera, while Sarmiento will host Racing Club in Junín.
