In their debut in First Division, Malevo rescued a good point in Córdoba. The game was ugly to watch, it lacked good football and had some controversial plays.
In its debut in the top category of Argentine football, Deportivo Riestra rescued a good point in Córdoba by drawing 0-0 with Instituto. The match, corresponding to the first date of zone A of the 2024 Professional League Cup, was ugly and had some controversial plays. Next, the analysis.
In the first half, the game was even but ugly. Lacking good football and clear scoring chances – the poor state of the playing field had something to do with it – the most entertaining thing this part had was Gregorio Rodríguez’s criminal kick: at 39′, the home team’s number 7 hit a rival in the neck and was sent off with a direct red card. It is worth mentioning that Instituto was the team that tried the most to associate, touch the ball, do something interesting. However, what was seen in large numbers were hits, errors and fouls. Oh, one more thing: at 21′, a handball from Riestra at the gates of his small area received the famous follow.
In the second half, what was seen was not very different from what was seen in the first half. The meeting remained tight, hot and ugly. They both wanted to do it, yes. In that context, and despite having one less, Instituto continued to be slightly superior, having more of the ball and making some good attempts. Already in the last minutes, the game threatened to get nice, with some back-and-forth sequences and some relatively dangerous arrivals. However, the 0-0 ended up being final. And it made sense, a lot… Oh, the complement also had an important controversy: an elbow from Milton Céliz – Riestra’s captain – that left Roberto Bochi bleeding was only yellow (and there was no VAR review).
