Newell’s They qualified for the semifinals of the Reserve championship after defeating Estudiantes de La Plata in a penalty shootout. The great figure was his archer, Joshua Reinattiwho in addition to diverting two maximum penalties from Click (one that sealed the pass to the next round), he was encouraged to open the round from twelve steps and hit his shot.
“A crazy Reinatti!”, was what the match commentator managed to exclaim after laughing at the execution of the penalty by the Newell’s goalkeeper, who barely took a couple of meters away from the ball and took advantage of the flight to the right of his colleague Rodrigo Borzone, who ended up deceived. “Two little steps in the race, he seemed anxious, I was going to tell you. “He’s going to be anxious,” he added.
In the first half, the people of La Plata took the lead thanks to a goal from Joaquín Tobio Burgos, but at the end of this stage Thiago Gigena equalized. Already in the complement, the homeowner once again made a difference with a shot by Joaquín Pereyra that deflected off Lucas Mihovilcevich and dislocated Reinatti. But, at 38 in the final stage, Agustín Juárez (he had replaced Jerónimo Russo) ruled the final 2-2. Already in the shootout, Borzone stopped Lucas Baños’ shot, but Reinatti did the same with the attempts of Tobio Burgos and Mateo Araujo.
Reinatti signed his first contract with the Leprosy at the end of last year. The 21-year-old goalkeeper, originally from Las Rosas (Santa Fe), signed the contract for three years, with an expiration date of December 2026. “Josué arrived at the club’s pension in 2017 after having been captured in a test, he had a stint in River’s youth ranks and returned at the beginning of this year. During the present 2023 he was one of the standouts in the reserve squad with great performances and more than a dozen games defending the red and black goal.
In addition, he had just been a substitute in the Primera due to the conflict that Ramiro Macagno had with the former red and black coach Mauricio Larriera, who granted the title to Lucas Hoyos and opted for Reinatti as a replacement.
Now the Newell’s Reserve, which had just eliminated Belgrano de Córdoba as a visitor, will play the semifinals against Vélez in Liniers. On the other side of the key are Lanús and River, who this weekend will seek to win the other pass to the final of the Reserva Proyección Cup.
