Instituto won and Gimnasia is not a leader :: Olé

gGimnasia arrived in Córdoba with a very clear objective: to win again to join the group of leaders. He arrived with confidence, since on the last date he had beaten Banfield. In front, Institute had just lost and had to reunite with its people. It was an open, intense match with the middle zone as just a transit zone.. And he made it clear, once again, that in Argentine football everything is too even.

Gymnastics started better. In fact, he started winning. In the first attack, Pintado reached the bottom to center, Castillo received it and left it to Abaldo to finish at Roffo’s far post. It was a great goal. Three touches at pure speed yel Lobo was the leader in just five minutes of the game. From there until 20 minutes the best of Gimnasia was seen in the first half. He grabbed the ball, attacked and was able to reach the second, but Benja Domínguez was not precise in a clearance to Abaldo.

At 20 was when the Instituto fans exploded and began to insult their players. This, instead of confusing and making them nervous, gave them another boost. La Gloria began to bite more, attack with more people and at 29′ they reached a tie. Rodríguez hit a barbaric left foot that left Insfrán without reaction. And he almost went into the break winning, but a header from Suárez hit the post. Gimnasia had gone from being dominant to being clearly dominated almost without realizing what was happening.

The second half found a logical decrease in intensity. It had been too high in the first half. There were fewer attacks and the defenses were now in better shape. But no one was counting on Morales’ gross mistake. He Gimnasia’s captain, who had been playing a very good game, wanted to give a back pass to his goalkeeper, left it short and gave the goal to Gregorio Rodríguez.

Instituto found what it needed so much: a triumph and with a little gift. Gimnasia, on the other hand, caressed the tip for a little while but ended up getting off.
