Talleres defeated Platense in Córdoba and is the leader of the Professional League

Talleres beat Platense 2-1 for the fifth day of the 2024 Professional League and is the leader of the championship. At the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium, he took three golden points after a very tough match and got fully into the fight at the top, prior to the stoppage of the Copa América. I relived the minute by minute of the meeting.

The T began to win it from the locker room. Bruno Barticciotto took advantage of a good cross from Rubén Botta and headed over the Calamar goalkeeper, Juan Cozzani, who was halfway there. After the early goal of the local team, the first half was, on balance, more favorable to Saavedra’s team. With the help of Fernando Juárez, Ronaldo Martínez and Franco Minerva he had the clearest ones.

And with that approach more direct than that of Talleres, who almost did not attack, Platense had more situations and reached a well-deserved draw in the epilogue of the first chapter. Minerva grabbed it left-footed as it came after a pass from Agustín Campo that crossed the entire area. He hit a bomb that left Guido Herrera without a chance. El Calamar reached the tie and went better at halftime.

However, the team led by Walter Ribonetto rebounded in the second half and took control of the game again. After the weak image of the first half, Talleres went on to win it again. Once again, Barticciotto was key in attack: he left Alejandro Martínez alone, who hooked inside and hit a good left foot shot at the near post.

Talleres closed the first part of the year with a tremendous clean and jerk. Leader of the Professional League and full of confidence facing the round of 16 series of the Copa Libertadores against none other than River, in mid-August.
