Gymnastics
and
Columbus
could not deny their reality of difficulties.
Especially in the creative aspect.
For this reason, in the end, beyond intentions and/or flashes, they ended up building a cast of zeros that left no one happy.
It was a curious game and with similar expectations:
Colón and Gimnasia have no problems in the average table
, but -it is remembered- this season there will be a descent through the general table.
And there they have a common drawback: Colón reached this sixth date last together with Atlético Tucumán with just two points;
not much more how Gymnastics arrived, with four units.
Unintentionally, at this start of the season, they are direct rivals in a dispute that they did not imagine before the World Champions League began.
The first half, after receiving
Gorosito
with unanimous applause from the Gimnasia fans , was intense, changing, with Gimnasia a little more daring.
But both lacked the same thing:
clarity in the last meters, in the areas.
However, there were two very clear arrivals.
At 31, an appearance by
Domínguez
left him hand in hand with
Ignacio Chicco
, but the goalkeeper avoided the local cry with a wonderful save.
At 42, Colón was close to taking the lead:
Pierotti
unbalanced on the right, he was hand in hand, and
Durso
saved magnificently.
It is not an exaggeration: those two resolutions by the goalkeepers seemed like
a tribute to Dibu Martínez (The Best of the field), in handball mode
.
The second half did not vary too much.
Perhaps he lost rhythm and speed as a result of the heat, another guest at the game.
But the dynamic was similar: Gymnastics had more of the ball;
Columbus tried to play the spaces.
But, once again, like this game and so far this season, they lacked forcefulness.
