Racing and San Lorenzo smile; River, Boca and the Red suffer

It is the roulette of sensations in the Argentine league that places the five greats in opposite situations after the seventh date. enjoy Racing y Saint Lawrence for his classic victories. Red suffers from his fall against the Academy and Boca for his defeat against the Cyclone. suffer River for his stumble in the Monumental against the modest Godoy Cruz.

Racing took over the Avellaneda classic with a great goal from a Chilean Gabriel Hauche at the birth of the match that drew the 1-0 and the madness of the Albicelestes fans. It seemed that it could be thrashed when the Academy had a penalty, but the shot from Enzo Copetti hit a stick

It was only in the second half that Independiente exhibited a tenuous reaction, but not even with the good debut of Facundo Ferreyra. Red lost again. can Eduardo Dominguez transfer this classic hit? Will have to see. For now, the DT of Independiente left the Cylinder without speaking. Will he resign in these hours?

Saint Lawrence threw a party. On Saturday, he beat Boca 2-1 at the New Gasometer and extended his paternity in history. The Cyclone he had not won all year at home and accumulated five years without classic wins at home. He started losing by a headed goal from red framesbut he turned it around with definitions of the promising youth Agustin Giay and with a header Adam Bareirowho later deflected a penalty.

It is the third loss in a row Boca in the local tournament, added to the cruel elimination of the Libertadores during the week against Corinthians that led to the resignation of DT Sebastián Battaglia and the explosion of an internship between the referents and the Football Council led by Juan Román Riquelme. That’s why against San Lorenzo the captain Carlos Izquierdoz was a substitute. In this context, there was a lukewarm Boca before a Cyclone full of young people and pushed by a packed stadium.

Like the xeneizes, River cannot get over the shock caused by the elimination of the Libertadores and also the dismissal of Julian Alvarez, already presented at Manchester City. While they wait for the Colombian 9 Miguel Borja, the millionaires showed notorious defensive decoupling yesterday and gave away the first half. Godoy Cruz took advantage and celebrated a 2-0 in Núñez hitting in that initial period two impacts in a little while through Martín Ojeda and Gonzalo Abrego.

What must those 45 minutes have been like? Marcelo Gallardo made four substitutions at halftime! They didn’t work for him. River grew, but collided in a handful of opportunities with the safety of goalkeeper Diego Rodríguez. Dissatisfied with the arbitration (it did not influence the result), the Doll ended up expelled at the end.

Date 7 on Sunday had three other games: Lanús 2 – Huracán 3, Atlético Tucumán 2 – Gimnasia 0 and Estudiantes 2 – Central Córdoba 2. The day will close today with Defense – Aldosivi, Colón – Vélez and Aldosivi -Tigre.

Now the championship has as its only pointer Newell’s, with 15 units. Gimnasia and Huracán follow with 14. Then Racing, Godoy Cruz, Platense, Atlético Tucumán and Unión with 13. The rest of the greats? San Lorenzo, in tenth place, with 10 points. Boca adds 9 and River 8. Xeneizes and millionaires, too far away for being so giants. But on time. This story is just beginning.
