The hallmark of the party in workshops was in how He quickly showed the trade of a team with experience in the First Division to another that must gradually acquire it. Because Belgrano started better, controlling the ball, pressing and getting closer to Herrera, but the goal was converted by the “T” at 11m, the first he had.
The sky-blue defense didn’t know how to read Santos’ liveliness to find the gap and enable Pizzini to convert and paid dearly early. In the First Division, defensive errors are not forgiven and gaining a foothold in the secrets and ways of how to play in the upper circle will take time and also matches.
Later, Talleres was smart to manage the advantage. Supported by the firmness of Benavídez as a central defender, in a position that is not natural for him, well accompanied by the debutant Juan Rodríguez and Buffarini’s dizzying climbs on the right, teaming up with an active Valoyes, he gave the ball to Pirata.
Belgrano had it again with Zapelli, but without clarity or depth. The Albiazul closed well and stood against, ready to hurt a rival that way. Villagra and Franco won the duels against Longo and Zapelli. And without needing to have it anymore, he generated two more whites before the end of the PT.
In the first, at 40m, Santos couldn’t define well against Losada. And a minute later came that kick from Garro, another “live” who knew how to upset Longo’s mark and take advantage of his great shot from the outside.
blue-white intelligence
Due to mischief, intelligence and forcefulness, Talleres went to rest with an advantage that it was presumed that the Pirate would have a hard time reversing in the complement, as it happened.
The ball returned to the control of the premises after Zapelli, as in a good part of the PT, but the celestial attacks were diluted a few meters from the Herrera area, because Talleres continued to group well from the middle to the back, occupying spaces, closing roads and preventing for the ball to reach Vegetti clean. Calm, without hurry, thinking, against and accelerating only when necessary, the “T” continued managing the times and playing at the pace that suited him.
The formulas were the same: the security in the background, the projections of Buffarini, the audacity of Valoyes, the clarity of Garro to assist and the decision of Pizzini to penetrate the sky-blue defense. Undoubtedly, the former Defensa y Justicia striker played his best game since he reached the “T”, the one he needed to win the affection of the fans.
Gandolfi decided to sign Nahuel Bustos for Santos so as not to put the Uruguayan at risk and lost some offensive weight. But although he had a scare with that great cover by Herrera before a shot from Longo, his victory was never at risk. And the third, the Buffarini penalty, also came due to another celestial ingenuity.
In the classic the “T” was able to impose that plate of a First team that Belgrano must acquire with the running of the League and that cannot be bought in any shop window.
