J. Espínola 6. Very confident in most of the crosses, he responded with confidence in several dangerous shots and was again very precise with his feet, especially the shot at Cocoliso.
A. Montero 4.5. He lost a lot to Vergara, although he never stopped fighting. He went a lot on the attack, although he lacked precision in the centers.
S. Salcedo 5.5. Good in the air, firm on the mark near the area and cleared many crosses. He was only exposed late in a play where Newell’s was coming out and couldn’t get to Conechny on the goal.
V. Cuesta 6. He annulled Maravilla, headed everything that happened close to him and always firmly anticipated. He gave meaning and solidity to the line of three.
L. Sosa 5. Much more confident than in other games, he had good saves and anticipated several times. He came close to scoring with a shot that went close to the crossbar after a rebound from a corner.
M. Luciano 5. He is not flashy, but once again he met the mark and contained Solari well. Offensively, he lacked more certainty at the time of the center, which generally he throws it without a clear recipient.
L. Regiardo 5. It was important to cut off Racing’s playing circuits, although once again he got a quick warning and that conditions him. Despite that, he did not relax the rigor of the brand and went to fight the divisions with uneven luck.
L. Guch 4.5. He tried and ran more than he produced. He needs to exploit his speed more and must look for variants to always hook inwards to be left-footed, because the rival has already studied it.
V. Acuña 4. In the goal he lost a ball with his back due to poor control and that affects his score. He always tries to play, although sometimes he limits himself to plays that are more showy than effective.
L. Herrera 6. Always dangerous, always annoying for rival defenders. He generated fouls, forced an imprecise rival start and had a clear goal chance that he finished off target. The best from Newell’s in a year to be forgotten.
C. González 6. He won everything from above, although this time there was no connection with Herrera as happened with Huracán. He had a clear chance with a header but Cambeses drowned out his scream with an impressive blow. He left applauded by the people, recognition of his dedication.
J. Russo. He limited himself to taking care of his sector and in his offensive protections he was seen tied up, afraid of failing.
J. Mosquera. Very bad income. He always went on the attack and neglected the defensive. In the goal, he was in Colombia because he wasn’t even in the photo.
E. Banega. He tried to play, with some passes between the lines, but he complicated Acuña with a pass in stoppage time where it seemed better to open the field, and from there came the goal.
L. Montenegro. Few minutes, he didn’t even touch the ball.
F. Scarpeccio. It has very interesting nine movements.
