Guaraní Antonio Franco (GAF) returns with a triumph from Corrientes: he won 1-0 in the first leg of the semifinals of the Northern Litoral Region and took another step in the Regional Amateur Tournament in search of the goal of promotion. lThe second leg will be played next Sunday at the Clemente Argentino Fernández de Oliveira, in Villa Sarita.
The only goal of the match, played at Boca Unidos’ Leoncio Benítez stadium, was the work of Leonardo Galeano at 44 minutes into the first half.. The team led by the duo of Manuel Dutto and Juan Eluchans knew how to pull the strings of the game, did not despair and returned to Misiones with a victory.
In a new reissue of the classic, which was played only with local partiality, Guaraní came out determined not to return empty-handed. In the first minutes he took control of the ball and was thorough in his play, which gave him the first clear shot of the afternoon: a header into the net, the first warning.
After 15 minutes, the local team managed to even the game and had Max Pared as the most dangerous forward, when he came close with a shot that ended up pinching the La Franja defender to end up in the hands of Eduardo Flores.
Mandiyú took possession of the ball and Guaraní retreated, but without giving up in attack. At half an hour, Lautaro Soto had the first when his shot was deflected by a defender. Another clear one for the visit. Mandiyú also dangerously approached the goal defended by Flores, if at 38 the goalkeeper contained a dangerous ball that came from the side.
Until Guarani had his prize. At 44 minutes, Leonardo Galeano got hold of a ball that came between the lines after a counterattack by the Villa Sarita team and scored against the goalkeeper’s bailout to open the scoring and silence Leoncio Benítez. 1-0 for the team of Dutto and Eluchans and to the locker room.
In addition, with the peace of mind of the advantage, Guaraní continued to manage the game and had several to increase the score: Galeano found himself with the leg of a defender in a shot that was going towards the net and close to the 20, the recently introduced Marcelo Dávalos had the clearest shot but his shot was bitten and deflected.
Mandiyú also had a chance, but the result did not change and La Franja returned with a great success to continue dreaming. A blow in someone else’s rodeo.
