Argentinos Juniors, with a team with several substitutes, achieved a tight victory at home after winning 1-0 over Corinthians of Brazil, and was the leader of Group F of the Copa Sudamericana.
The goal came early, just 60 seconds into the game, thanks to Gastón Verón, who scored in front of the goalkeeper after a masterful pass from Emiliano Viveros, and dominated the game at will since then but not without suffering approaches from the visitors.
Despite playing with one more man from the 13th minute of the second half after the expulsion of Raúl Gustavo, who hit the Chilean referee Piero Maza and saw red, the Argentine team had to wait until the end to secure the victory, with an outstanding performance by goalkeeper Diego Rodríguez, who saved him with a great save.
This result left the team led by Pablo Guede with good prospects for Sunday’s semifinal against Vélez Sarsfield, since it saved several regular starters for the match in San Nicolás and the squad’s motivation is on the rise.
Although the match was not completely dominated by Argentinos, they managed to capitalize on their numerical advantage and keep a Corinthians at bay who, despite the defeat, did not give up.
Argentinos continue on a good streak, hoping to advance to the next phase.
