Gimnasia La Plata vs Defensa y Justicia: First Matchday Preview
Gimnasia La Plata
El Lobo visited Velez Sarsfield in search of their first points away from home. However, coach Sebastian Romero’s strategy was not the best and Velez took advantage of this to score several goals with ease.
In the 26th minute, Gimnasia conceded the first goal, and before they could react, Velez had already scored two more. Guillermo Henrique scored a goal in the 67th minute, which only served to reduce the lead. Lobo had only three shots on target.
Defensa y Justicia
Coach Julio Vaccari must correct a lot of things in the way his team plays, because despite having more ball possession in their last game, there were many spaces that their rival took advantage of to put the ball in the net four times.
During the 90 minutes, Defensa y Justicia shot only 3 times but scored 2 goals, David Barbona and Nicolas Fernandez were the scorers. Although goalkeeper Ezequiel Unsain conceded 4 goals, he also made 5 saves to prevent the lead from getting any bigger.
