It is the new reality, one dreamed of but unexpected until a few weeks ago. Belgrano stopped being a lost team to reunite with its best version. He did it with another idea, he did it with another coach. The arrival of Juan Cruz Real led to him gaining confidencereturned to victory and was encouraged to go for more, just as he did in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, where he achieved a great victory against Real Tomayapo to be the leader.

The best of 2-0

South American Cup – 4-26-2024

The best of Belgrano’s triumph

He started with everything and ended up suffering. The Pirate’s first half was a see-saw of emotions. Nicolás Meriano’s red card at 27 minutes (made a mistake and took down Tomianovic when he was escaping) It conditioned the result and the idea with which the coach went out onto the field. Because the team was planted in Bolivia. Because he was superior until the expulsion. Because it justified the 1-0 from the good collective play that Facundo Lencioni converted.

With the arrival of the coach, B took a breath, gained freshness and left behind the doubts it had been showing with Guillermo Farré, beyond the very tough defeat they suffered on the last date of the Professional League Cup against Racing (0-4). And that new version was seen before the Bolivians, since it had the determination and the countenance to go for everything as a visitor.

Real opted for a line of five defenders in which Juan Barinaga constantly went on the attack. The departure of Colo was one of the high points in the first minutes, making it difficult for their rivals and being an option for the midfielders. However, beyond that position, Lencioni’s goal came with a cross from the left and the key participation of Franco Jara.

Complications for Belgrano appeared when Tomayapo began to take advantage of the numerical superiority, although He knew how to hold on and extended the difference with a great goal from a free kick by Matías Marín.

The new Pirate

It came beaten. Belgrano had gone five games without a win when Juan Cruz Real decided to take the helm of the Pirate ship to try to right the course. Beyond some ups and downs, the 47-year-old coach managed to resurrect the team. And last night’s victory was confirmation of the uprising. Since the arrival of Real, Belgrano beat Tigre as a visitor (4-1), tied with Inter de Porto Alegre at home (0-0), beat Unión in Santa Fe (2-1), tied with Delfín in Ecuador ( 1-1) and suffered a hard blow with Racing (0-4). Last night he achieved an important victory.
