Gimnasia and Estudiantes played this morning a new edition of the Reserve Classic, which was played at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium with Ramiro Maglio refereeing. The meeting, valid for the first date, had a better standing for Lobo than for the visit and through Alan Lescano and Valentín Peñalva they won 2-0.
With the fog, as the main protagonist of the game, the match began very difficult in the middle of the field and with some inaccuracies for those led by Sebastián Romero and Pablo Quatrocchi. But around 12 minutes, a great combination between Leandro Mamut and Alan Lescano, el Lobo took the lead. It was the latter, who with a great definition against Zozaya, put the partial 1-0.
After the tripero goal, Estudiantes wanted to react with a counter by Agustín Palavecino, who after being hand in hand with Nahuel Manganielli, is cut off with a foul by Gonzalo González, who was reprimanded and left a dangerous free kick outside the area, which could not be used by Gonzalo Piñeiro.
But there is more. About 24 minutes into the first half, Tomás Muro led a counter that had 4 players from Gimnasia against 3 from Estudiantes, which Mamut could not connect, which was intercepted by Franco Cacace to avoid the second.
Close to 31, comes the best collective play of Estudiantes, in the last danger of the first 45 minutes. Everything was born at the feet of Zozaya, who captures Benjamín Rojas and sees Palavecino near the medialuna of the Manganelli area. The striker’s shot went very close, almost touching the crossbar.
In the second half, both looked to be able to start it in the best way, and the first went to Gymnastics, at 7 minutes, after a shot by Ivo Mammini that ran through the entire area and could not be connected by any teammate. But the second scream of the morning was not going to be long in coming. At 11 minutes, a free kick by Alan Lescano is connected by Valentín Peñalva, who makes it 2-0 for the team led by Sebastián Romero and widens the advantage for the locals.
Around 22 minutes, the one who tried was Estudiantes, who did not have risk situations in the first moments. Through a counterattack, after an unsuccessful attack by Lobo, Palavecino faced, gave it to Piñeiro, who finished off and went near the post of the tripero goalkeeper. In turn, close to 26, he had another approach play, which went over Manganelli’s goal, after a shot-center from above from the right.
Minutes later, near the end, after a corner kick by Mariano Aguilera, who entered the second half, Mateo Burdisso connected with a header and crashed the crossbar that leads to the Forest stand. The Lion missed the discount near the end.
There was no time for more and Ramiro Maglio marked the end, to the hubbub of the triperos players and the fans who came to bench Sebastián Romero’s team, who started the championship on the right foot.
