Institute defeated 2 to 1 Gymnastics and Fencing of La Plata at the Monumental stadium of Alta Córdoba, for the fourth date of the Professional League 2024.
La Gloria turned the meeting around with so many of Santiago Rodríguez 28 minutes into the first half and Gregorio Rodriguez 35′ from the complement. Meanwhile, Matías Abaldo (5′ PT) scored during the visit.
Instituto went from less to more and with determination, determination and heart they ended up taking a more than deserved victory in Alta Córdoba. With this result, Glory returned to victory after two days without adding three.
The match
Instituto started losing from the locker room: when the fans were just settling in at Alta Córdoba, the Uruguayan Matías Abaldo opened the scoring 5 minutes into the initial stage, after a great collective play.
The visit grew longer and Glory’s nervousness and imprecision began to become evident. The fans, angry about Albirrojo’s present, began to sing in the stands “Move Gloria, move.”
This is how the reaction of Dabove’s people came. Forward Santiago Rodríguez withstood the onslaught of the Lobo players and took a mid-range shot that went low into Insfrán’s left post to make it 1-1 in Alta Córdoba.
At the end of the first half, Facundo Suárez won a header in the “Tripera” area and was very close to turning the game around. The ball grazed the right post of goalkeeper Insfrán.
Second time
The complement was back and forth. Gimnasia was close to scoring the second after a good counterattack, but Giuliano Cerato saved Instituto.
Minutes later, Santiago Rodríguez was close to extending the lead, with a left-footed shot that went just over Gimnasia’s crossbar.
At the end, when it seemed like it was ending evenly, the recent recruit Gregorio Rodríguez took advantage of a mistake by Gimnasia’s defense and turned the story around. 2-1 in favor of Dabove’s team.
On the next day, the team led by Diego Dabove will face Newell’s Old Boys, on Thursday, June 13 at 9:15 p.m., at the Coloso del Parque in Rosario, for the fifth round of the Professional League.
