Independent and Vélez They were evenly matched in the match valid for the third date of Zone A of the Apertura Tournament. Was 1-1 for the many of John Gordonwho first put the visitors ahead and then converted it into their own goal. At the Libertadores de América-Enrique Bochini stadium, Hernán Mastrángelo directed.
In the first half, both met expectations because the procedure was really entertaining from the start. Santiago Montiel was the most dangerous of the premises, with two attempts: first with a left-footed shot from point-blank range that was blocked by Alvaro Montero and then with a cut from the right to the center, subsequent one-two with Luciano Cabral and a bitten shot due to having been moved by his marker when he was already inside the area.
In the midst of these chances of Rojohe Fort came with danger: on the right side and a search for a foot that led to a providential closure by Lomónaco and on the left with an overflow of Dilan Godoy after the recovery in attack of Manuel Lanzini and the surprise arrival of Matías Pellegrini. Rodrigo Rey He put his body on it and sent the ball to the corner.
The Chilean Diego Valdés had it again for the visit, in a play in which he made a couple of rivals pass by inside the area, but it took him a while to define. He gave up Dilan Godoy when he was already covered and the youth player was left without a shooting angle. Everything was diluted.
The zero in Avellaneda was broken with Jano Gordon’s minute. At 31, the defender sent the ball into the back of the net after Pellegrini’s tight corner kick and Godoy’s haircut. Vélez had not finished celebrating when, a minute later, the defender himself fortinero wanted to clear a spicy center of Leonardo Godoy and converted against. Independiente had put together a good collective play that led to an overflow on the right of their side. Gordon, hero and villain in 60 seconds. The Velezanos were able to take the lead with a header from Valdés that went to the side of the post: Mellizo Guillermo shouted it because he thought it had gone in.
In the complement, they did not relax with the intensity, although it was difficult for them to generate more clarity in the move. After a failed clearance by air by Gabriel Ávalos, the Chilean Valdés he lost one-on-one with Rey, who then scrambled to prevent the 1-2 on the rebound that Dilan Godoy almost had, blocked by Lomónaco and Valdez. The red defense prevented another fall of their fence at the dawn of the complement. Independiente responded with a good maneuver by Abaldo, who looked for the far post in the open Montielwho headed the ball to the ground in a dove and crashed the ball into the junction of the post and the crossbar.
Without a doubt, the match entered a certain slump as it entered the final stage. The clearest chance of the complement for the home owner was at the feet of Gabriel Ávalos, who after fighting in the heights, appeared alone at the far post and could not direct his left foot towards the goal after Millán’s search. It was 2-1 for Quinteros’ team, who also suffered in injury time. Lucid, Florian Monzón started Alex Verón to run, who was left one-on-one with Rey, but the goalkeeper saved him well and drowned out the cry for a goal.
