Lanús could not beat Sarmiento, they tied 0-0 and still have not won in the League Cup

Domestic football gives no respite and fifth date of the League Cup was launched with the meeting they organized in the south of the Buenos Aires suburbs Lanus y Sarmiento de Junín. The match valid for Zone B delivered a changing and suspenseful spectacle. During the first half hour, Garnet tried to impose conditions through the individual hierarchy of Juan Sanchez Miñothe balance of Matias Esquivel and the speed of Lautaro Acosta. But Verde was betting on the counterattacks proposed by Gonzalo Bettini y Agustín Fontana.

In Strength The local dominance was absolute, but those of Sebastián Salomón, who was confirmed as coach, could not break the solid opposing defense. And the constant sacrifice of Jose Devecchi It was one of the reasons to explain the zero that the scoreboard showed at the end of the first half.

A result that could have changed if the VAR had not been punctilious. The thing is Agustín Fontana left out of the scene Alan Aguerre with an exquisite definition of emboquillada. A great goal that paralyzed the hearts of the public, but the lines drawn indicated a millimeter offside by the striker (it seemed to be enabled by Cristian Lema) and the decision of Fernando Rapallini of annulling someone else’s conquest was celebrated as a goal by those present. As happened in the classic between Saint Lawrence y Racingtechnology once again contributed to the referee’s work to impose justice.

The changes he proposed Pablo Lavallen during the clash, to go from marking the man in the zone was a decision that went against the intentions of the homeowner, given that Pedro De La Vega, one of the most incisive interpreters, could not end in the desired way the risky occasions that he generated individually or collectively.

In the complement the trend of the show was not modified. Demon De La Vega did everything possible to hurt the last line of Sarmiento. Neither the shots he managed to hit, nor the assists he provided to form a partnership with Esquivel and the Loco Díaz They reached a good port. And the income of the experienced Pepe Sand, Franco Troyansky y Luciano Boggio They also did not provide solutions to open the Junín lock.

Furthermore, the expulsion of Alan Marinelli for a brutal infraction on Diego Braghieri forced the cast led by Lavallé to defend the point very close to José Devecchi, the great figure of the night.

Equality left a bitter taste in the Granate, which still has not won in the domestic competition and its objective of qualifying for international competitions seems increasingly deteriorated. With just one win in their last eleven appearances, the fans expressed their displeasure. And after visiting Boca in La Bombonera, they will have to face the classic against Banfield, a complex horizon for a team that has become accustomed to not adding three.

Instead, for Sarmiento The result provided a panorama to celebrate, given that he continues to increase his average and is excited about occupying one of the four places that grants tickets to the quarterfinals.

He Verde had a promising start to the tournament under the command of Pablo Lavallenwho replaced Israel Damonte. He won his first two games against Tigre and Boca Juniorstied with Defense and Justice in Florencio Varela and lost the last date as a local Central Córdoba of Santiago del Esteroa direct rival in the fight to avoid relegation.

Con 37 units in the annual classification, Sarmiento is six away from Hurricanewhich until now is the cast that would lose the category along with Sarandí Arsenalthe worst in the average table.
