Once the Estudiantes de La Plata title was consummated, which became champion of the League Cup After beating Vélez on penalties in Santiago del Estero, the Professional Football League (LPF) announced a statistical report about the tournament that has just ended and many of the records included there are interesting to highlight.
For example, the Click Eduardo Dominguez, who lifted the trophy, finished last in the table Fair Play. What is this about? Each team starts the competition with 1000 points and loses one for each yellow card, three in case of expulsion for a double yellow and five for a direct red. The La Plata team, with 46 yellow and 4 red, was at the bottom of everything in this list with 934 units.
The leader of this statistic is Barracas Central with 978 points, Many times pointed out as a team that is favored by refereeing. The great controversy of the championship occurred on matchday 9, when Guapo tied 2-2 at home against Independiente. “I talked about it (with the players) before the game. We knew we were playing against 14, but I didn’t expect that much”said a sharp Carlos Tévez with a laugh after the match played on the Huracán field.
First, 20 minutes into the game, Alexis Domínguez was cautioned for an infraction against Iván Marcone that the Rojo players claimed because they understood it was a red card. Then, in the last play of the first half, they asked for a penalty by Facundo Mater that the referee Pablo Dovalo did not consider it as such. In the end there was a new handball inside the area, in this case by Carlos Arce. And Dovalo? Go on go on…
Another of the statistics provided by the LPF, labeled under the title “playing styles”, It has to do with the posture of the 28 Argentine soccer teams on the field of play and It leaves Deportivo Riestra in a very bad position. Malevo was the one with the lowest possession average: 35.1%. He is followed by Sarmiento (41.8%), Banfield (44.6%) and Platense (44.8%).
But Riestra’s thing doesn’t stop there. When in advantage, it has 23.9% of the holding. That is, he goes back when he finds himself ahead and clings to that result. In addition, he serves long (60 meters on average, the highest record) to start from the back. His record is two wins, two draws and one loss every time he opened the scoring.
There is an even more obvious fact regarding this question. While River (135), Boca (131) and Estudiantes (128) are the ones that accumulated the most sequences of 10 or more passes, all of them led by midfielders with well-footed players, Riestra managed to chain 10 or more consecutive passes only twice in the 14 regular season games.
