The final of the tournament First B who faced the best in the Opening y Closing, The Andes y Schoolboys respectively, it had extraordinary condiments that fought for prominence in the definition. Munro’s team won 2-0 with goals from Laureano Marra and Mauricio Camargo, became champions and will play in 2025 in the anteroom of the Professional League. But there are more things to tell than the consecratory triumph.
He Milrayitas He faced the game unfocused: the day before the game that defined the promotion that was left in the hands of the Tricolorhad Lautaro Torres -his number 10, one of the best- playing the Potrero Cup that organizes Sergio Aguero and it is televised. He did it like Luciano Torres, but he was discovered. The coach Leonardo Lemos He chose to call him up anyway and then confirmed him as a starter. His future, with the Reduced due to the second promotion ahead, will depend on the leadership’s decision.
with that run-runthe Lomas de Zamora team went to play their chance at Munro with their minds set on other issues. After the 0-0 in the first leg, there was not much room for speculation in Libertarios Unidos: The one who scored more goals than the rival, made the jump.
The one who did it first was Colegiales. 26 minutes into the first half Laureano Marrawith a header, made the difference and established the way the rest of the game would be played, because Los Andes was forced to reverse the situation. That pressure took its toll on the visiting players as the minutes ticked away.
In the second half it started with controversy. The forward of the visit Manuel Brondo covered a ball and Joaquin Cancio I bothered him to gain the position. The 9 elbowed the midfielder and the referee Edgardo Zamora He showed a yellow one – it was red. Tumult, discussion, some pushing and the feeling that in that action, Los Andes could lose.
That was what the captain of the Lomas de Zamora team thought, Sebastian Lopezwho burst into the crowd with vehemence and identified the most out of place colleague and decided to drastically capture his attention: He slapped him from behind to make him come to his senses. and left the area. Zamora saw the blow and did not hesitate: expulsion for the goalkeeper.
For about three minutes López tried to explain his action and even the fourth referee Juan Cruz Robledo He clarified to Zamora that the hit had been on a teammate and not on a rival. Although the regulations do not distinguish the color of the shirt -The one from Los Andes was well expelled-the referee decided to go back and annulled the expulsion.
If Milrayitas had reached the definition with its mind set on other issues, the partial defeat and the expulsion and counterattack did not help it focus on what was at stake, unlike the local team that scored the second goal shortly after.
Free kick, Marcelo Camargo widened the difference. With little time left, Colegiales played the game with the conviction of the accomplished goal. Apart from a few starts in Los Andes, his victory was never in danger. He only had to endure the 2-0 defeat in Munro’s United Libertarians and complete a promotion to the category that he had said goodbye to 68 years ago.
