Independiente 2-0 Wanderers: Preseason Win for Olé

The old works… And Gustavo knows it. The thing is that the Independiente de Quinteros begins little by little, in a summer with pure chivito, mate and biscuits, to show its essence and The banners are two cool old men who started 2026 with everything: Gabriel Ávalos and Ignacio Malcorra.

Yes, Wanderers didn’t even have the chance to make the Rojo’s home team weigh on them, which vastly surpassed them, even though they couldn’t find depth in the first half. the same one that the former Rosario Central gave him when he entered the complement. With the entry of the experienced midfielder, those from Avellaneda began to have another weight on offense and the goals arrived…

Before that, in the first half, It was difficult for him to generate clear goal situations. We can barely highlight a double opportunity that was created with a shot by Luciano Cabral that was cleared by the Uruguayan goalkeeper and, on the rebound, Mazzanti could not convert.

In the complement, things were different: M alcorra began to play and make people play, Ávalos found spacesthe wingers (Mazzanti and Abaldo too), while Pussetto was also important when he came on.

But when it came to putting together the podium, without a doubt the Paraguayan striker took all the laurels. The scorer, who had a questionable 2025 but started the year scoring against Everton, finished with a double: First he caught the air ball wonderfully after a corner kick from the right and then he took charge of a penalty, which he defined with category…

Before and after, Red had other chances: Malcorra tried from outside, Pussetto had some, also the Uruguayan Abaldo and in the end Kevin Lomónaco had the opportunity to score the third goalo but his aerial shot after a lost ball in the area was bitten and the rival defense cleared it off the line.

Of course, behind Ávalos’ scoring ability Malcorra’s good footing and intelligence immediately appearwhich was decisive because he assisted Mazzanti very well, who faced the young goalkeeper José Río, who took him on, and committed the penalty that the Guaraní converted into a goal.

Independiente closed his summer time in Uruguay with a big smile. The thing is that we return to Buenos Aires with three wins out of three games played, but beyond the results (and more important) with certainties and positive conclusions about the performance that the team may have.

After showing interesting signs in the final stretch of the last Clausura, The team begins to show better and better things under the guidance of Gustavo Quinteroshe kept most of the players who have been important in recent times (only Loyola has left the starters for now), he added Malcorra plus some alternatives to the squad with players who returned from being on loan and it is impossible not to get excited having only one competition ahead of him… Thank goodness you came, Nacho!
