Belgrano He did what he could and won. Due to the strikeouts, he started without ideas and went to half-time down due to an unobjectionable penalty that Córdoba Central took advantage to gain the advantage. But he was able to turn it around in the second and held it for an unfair expulsion, a second yellow for a foul that the referee considered Luis Lobo Medina and that, since it was not a direct red, it did not merit the intervention of the VAR.
It would have been epic, if it hadn’t been for how little the game offered. He Railway He arrived in Córdoba beaten by Boca’s four goals last weekend: it seemed like he couldn’t stop on the field.
Belgrano attacked him, so to speak, because he didn’t kick on goal. He was slow to take the reins because the Santiago team, even in a bad position, made few mistakes. The situations were innocuous and the chances of a goal seemed distant.
However, the early injury of Matías Godoy and the entry of Ramón Cancinos changed the game. Because Mateo Sanabria passed on the right and the newcomer settled on the left and thus the visitor achieved his best game.
Thus things Belgrano seemed to approach with greater aplomb, but towards the end of the first half, a constant thing happened for the Pirate: they received goals in each of the last 24 games and the one on the cold night in Barrio Alberdi was no exception. .
It was after a clear penalty by Alejandro Rébola against Sanabria, which did not need to be checked by the VAR screen. Tomás Molina did not miss the shot and Central Córdoba went to the showers with an advantage.
However, the second part was the most attractive. Belgrano had a remarkable reaction and even ended up being the protagonist with one less. He shaped his reaction thanks to Bryan Reyna and his double which warmed up such a cold night where only snow was expected and there were goals.
The equalizer was a great goal. It was born from a side of the Santiago team in the middle of the field, a recovery from the local team, and two touches so that Francisco González Metilli He overflowed on the right and made a pass right in the middle of the area where the Peruvian striker entered and did not forgive with a first-class shot.
The other also came from the right. This time the overflow on the right was from Juan Barinaga, who looked for a cross into the pot that was deflected with a header, but the ball was left to Reyna. This time he adjusted it and took a right cross, the ball kissed the far post and went in.
And when Belgrano seemed to have everything under control, the expulsion came. Matias Moreno He was already reprimanded and raised his leg too much. The referee understood a reckless attitude and did not hesitate to show him the second yellow and the inevitable red. The decision drove all the Pirates crazy, because on the bench they could see how in the multiple repetitions there was no contact.
At a man disadvantage, the Pirate grew bigger. He could have won it by a greater advantage, if it had not been for Luis Ingolotti going into Draw Martinez mode and taking everything that the Córdoba team aimed at the goal. When not, the crossbar saved him: the ball that Mariano Troilo headed was returned by the horizontal post.
Belgrano endured well, knew how to win it and become great in adversity. Central Córdoba lost seven of the last 10 they played and again, as on the last date, they could not withstand a result in their favor. With little, the Pirate went more, they celebrated at home and achieved their first victory of the season.
