In the south of the suburbs, Banfield and Atlético Tucumán tied without goals this Monday, at the start of matchday 9 of Zone A of the League Cup.
In this way, Julio César Falcioni’s team took four points from the teams that are in the relegation zone according to the Annual Table. El Decano reached 48 units, outside the classification zone for the Copa Sudamericana.
After a discreet and even first half at the Florencio Sola stadium, Atlético Tucumán improved its production in the second stage with greater participation from Joaquín Pereyra, who on the left sector generated the most dangerous opportunity with a shot that hit the crossbar.
Banfield responded with the entry of young Gerónimo Rivera. The youthful forward had the opening of the scoring after the loan of Ignacio Rodríguez which led to a face to face with Tomás Marchiori. Rivera looked for the dribble and collapsed to the ground due to a supposed touch from the goalkeeper that did not exist, in a correct decision by Darío Herrera despite the widespread complaint.
Towards the end, Facundo Cambeses saved Banfield with a superb save against Mateo Coronel’s definition, in a play that originated from a side kick.
In a match with few arrivals, with a lot of tension in the stands, the tie left Atlético Tucumán more satisfied because the Drill, which was dismissed with some whistles, cannot move away from the last positions in the Annual Table.
On the next date, Banfield will visit Vélez Sarsfield, in a direct duel for permanence, while Atlético Tucumán will host Talleres de Córdoba.
Premiere with a tie for the “Russian”
In Ricardo Zielinski’s debut on the bench, Lanús also rescued a 0-0 draw this Monday in Santiago del Estero on his visit to the surprising Central Córdoba, which lost the chance to become the only leader in Zone B, in the continuity of the ninth date.
Paraguayan José Canale was sent off at the end in Granate, which remains last in the table with just four points and no victory in nine games.
For its part, Ferroviario led by Omar De Felippe, having had a great campaign in the local competition, could not add three, but it moved away from relegation and seeks to qualify for the Final Phase of the League Cup.
