The final cry of Nicolás Garayalde, his teammates, from the coaching staff and the people were a sample of how much gymnastics needed the opening tournament with three more points, an agonizing victory against Platense that will have a double value at the end of the season. The goal calmed the climate of nerves against coach Diego Flores but not for the Board of Directors, which received insults despite the victory.
The closure of the group stage found them with different needs. For the wolf, before its people, end in the best way the opening, pointing to an improvement in the Clausura. The continuity of coach Diego Flores, beyond the reprobation of the people, is not in doubt but has the balance of just 3 wins in 12 games (he took 13 of the 16 points of the team in the tournament) also, the first part of the year did not end for Gymnastics since next week he will play with Central Córdoba de Rosario for the 16vos of the Argentine Cup.
The squid, on the other hand, played with the tranquility of the classification. The only thing that had to define was the position in the tournament and the rival in the round of 16, which for now is Racing but can change when Tigre-Boca ends. However, the technical duo protects the four who had four yellow so as not to have casualties in the next match.
Despite the low technical level, the first half was entertaining and there were two clear chances per side. The goalkeeper Cozzani looked a little more, who first struggled to get a center of Silva Torrejón that was put in the angle, and then cut a stone center that was looking for Castillo. Insfrán was also safe in a shot that caught Lotti, who also defined badly in another good squid action.
However, in the final part, it was the goalkeeper of Gymnastics, Insfrán, who looked much more, lowering centers and with a huge shortcut on half an hour. The local team was more hungry for triumph and in the final minutes threw a lot of centers on the Cozzani area. In the last painting corner, Garayalde put his head and sealed the victory.
