Instituto Falls 1-0 to Vélez Sársfield in League Cup Match

Instituto fell 1 to 0 this Saturday against Vélez Sársfield, within the framework of date 11 of Zone A of the 2024 League Cup. The match had Sebastián Zunino as referee.

Defender Elías Gómez, 35 minutes into the second, scored the only goal of the match for the local team.

For Gloria, it was essential to add points again after losing 1 to 0 against Central in Rosario on the last date. They have 17 points and are outside the qualifying zone for the Final Phase with three games remaining.

Vélez is in full swing and is now the leader of Zone A with 21 points.

After this match comes the stoppage for the Fifa date. Albirrojo will host Argentinos Juniors on matchday 12, visit Barracas Central on matchday 13 and close the championship at home against River.

The match:

From the beginning of the match, Vélez tried to take Instituto ahead, which had difficult moments in the first 15 minutes of the match.

Then, Diego Dabove’s team began to settle in, although it was difficult for them to create danger in the rival goal.

The first half hour passed without great chances, so neither Roffo nor Marchiori had important interventions.

Only at the end of the first half did Albirrojo have their first approach, with a shot by Puebla from outside the area that was blocked by the local goalkeeper.

The end of the first half at 0-0 made it clear that Gloria had a plan: give the ball to Vélez and try to counterattack.

For the complement, Dabove sent Silvio Romero to the field for Mainero and Instituto went to look for the three points.

“Chino” himself had the goal with a header that the local goalkeeper took impressively, at 6 minutes.

Albirrojo had more opportunities and played better in the second half, but near the end Vélez had his chance and did not miss.

It was Elías Gómez with a header after a corner to score the 1-0 that seemed unfair for Gloria.

Vélez’s effectiveness gave him the three points. For the Institute, all the anger remained for the opportunity it missed.
