Controversy and Collective Brilliance in Atlético Tucumán’s Victory over Boca Juniors

After the impressive spectacle that the spectators improvised at the Monumental Presidente José Fierro, Atlético Tucumán and Boca Juniors had their debut in northern Argentina, in a match valid for the first date of the Professional League. And the duel in northern Argentina began with a controversial play that seemed to give the Dean an advantage.

It was before 10 minutes into the game when Juan Infante cut off a Xeneize counterattack with a clean sweep that became an assist. The ball fell in the form of a center for the arrival of Mateo Coronel, who resolved with a header, but could not beat Sergio Romero’s reflexes. As the rebound fell at the feet of Renzo Tesuri, the midfielder capitalized on the action and sent the ball to the back of the net. However, referee Pablo Echavarría had to resort to VAR to identify whether Coronel’s advanced position intervened on the second occasion, in which Chiquito failed to clear.

The referee’s interpretation was based on a determining factor: the attacker’s interference with the opponent. To review the regulations, it is worth highlighting that the regulations clarify that the judge’s ruling was well granted because there are several situations in which offside must be sanctioned: “1: preventing the ball from playing or being able to play by clearly obstructing the ball. the opponent’s field of vision; 2: disputing for the ball through an action that has an impact on an opponent or 3: performing an action that clearly affects an opponent’s ability to play the ball.

That is to say, according to Pablo Echavarría’s view, Sergio Romero could have cleared the ball if Coronel did not stand in his way, after Tesuri’s definition.

Although Facundo Sava expressed his discontent against the authorities, the Dean managed to gain the advantage when Mateo Coronel managed to complete an extraordinary collective work that also had to be reviewed by technology. The local conquest began with Joaquín Pereyra, who took possession of the ball and sent a precise pass to Mateo Bajamich. The forward gained position from the Peruvian Luis Advíncula and disarmed the Buenos Aires defense with a kick to the center of the area that ended in the net. It was a great counterattack, typical of the Premier League with which Atlético Tucumán celebrated 1-0.

Diego Martínez presented an alternative team in his debut in the domestic championship, because next Wednesday he will host Fortaleza from Brazil in La Bombonera, so a crucial duel is expected for the future of the Argentine team in the Copa Sudamericana. Then the Xeneize agenda will once again take the Boquense delegation to the north, because on the second date they will have to face Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero. Atlético Tucumán, for its part, will only have a match again next Saturday, when it visits Talleres de Córdoba.
