Belgrano loses 1 to 0 against Vélez in Montevideo in the second half

76

Belgrano loses at the beginning of its participation in the summer competition “Río de la Plata Series” against Vélez Sarsfield, at the Defensor Sporting stadium in Montevideo, Uruguay by 1 to 0. The goal for the Liniers team was scored by Lenny Lobato the 24 of the first stage.

At the beginning of the complement, Lucas Passerini was centimeters away from scoring the tie, when after a long pass from Rébola he connected with a header against the exit of goalkeeper Marchiori and the ball was cleared by defender Leonardo Jara.

When the complementary stage was halfway over, Brian Romero was left alone, but a great intervention by Losada prevented the Quinteros team from scoring a second.

The only reinforcement who was on the field was Francisco González Metilli, who in the 24th minute shot from the edge of the area so that the ball hit one of the pipes of Marchiori’s goal.

Osorio was able to seal the fate of Farré’s team in the 36th minute, when his shot was returned by the Pirata goal post and four minutes later, the youthful Lucco sent a measured cross to Passerini who the number 9 threw high.

The novelty in the Pirate was due to the absence of Santiago Longo, who according to official information, presented muscle fatigue and therefore was not part of the meeting with the Liniers team.

This tournament is played by 21 teams from different countries in order to gain momentum for the 2024 season, which in the case of the Pirate will start on Sunday, January 28 in La Plata against Estudiantes from 9:30 p.m.

The “B” is playing with a 4-4-2 system and has shown some difficulties in marking on the wings. Especially on the right, where Ulises Sánchez does not provide any help to Juan Barinaga.

A special paragraph for referee Ymmy Álvarez from Uruguay, who said goodbye to the activity with this match and had a weak match in which the protagonists at times exaggerated the vehemence on the mark.

The second match of the “B” will be on Saturday, January 20, from 9:30 p.m., against one of the greats of Uruguay: Peñarol and will be played at the Mirasol stadium.
