the very moment when students in Santiago del Estero become champions. The players run to hug Muslera /fotobaires
This courageous champion was born (unbeknownst to us) on the lawn of Rosario, that afternoon when his starting players turned their backs on a champion invented in the desks of power.
He turned on his own axis and chewed up a lot of anger, toughened his skin, multiplied his courage and began to write the chapter that put an end to the atrocities of the referees.
The Corridor of Rebellion led him to the glorious status that his fans will remember as a divine treasure. It wasn’t just another championship. It didn’t just mean the fourth star under the leadership of Eduardo Domínguez. It was much more than the title that its president enjoyed in the audience “thanks” to a sanction without an ethical basis. What happened last night will be etched in the collective memory of Argentine footballYonot as a slap in the face to the unpunished arrogance of those in power who have completely lost their calling to service.
PREVENTABLE WARNINGS IN AN INTENSIVE AND BALANCED PROCEDURE
With the white-red team having minimal superiority due to the dangerousness of their attackers, the first half delivered everything that was expected: intense fighting, good rhythm and remarkable attacking ambition.
A greater portion of precision in the final meters of the field would have brought Pincha closer to the lead. Cambeses prevented Carrillo’s goal with his left hand, but Medina, Palacios and Cetré failed at the key moment of the best situations that they knew how to create with their imbalance.
The main accusation was of a disciplinary nature and united the young Gómez and the experienced Magdalena shooter. The correct warnings both had received were unnecessary.
The level was opaque, but the big goal and the miracle of Carrillo came
The second half did not offer any highly technical combinations as Maravilla Martínez produced a memorable performance. His goal was remarkable, typical of an artist and gave the feeling that he would take Racing straight to the title.
The problem was that Guido Carrillo seemed to prevail in heading the ball, which was his specialty, and in the 47th minute he pulled off the miracle that few had expected.
They went into extra time and Lucas Alario failed to convert against a sharp cross from Cetré in the 8th minute of the first chapter. He received the ball in front of him, which ended up going over the crossbar.
At that moment of the hot night, those led by Gustavo Costas had lost their clarity. Carrillo’s powerful header had taken their focus away.
The air was thick and tired, a logical consequence of what they had walked. Also the fear of losing that no one could handle. The fear of making a mistake had already taken over a fairly distorted process.
The second half of extra time was played with the idea of arriving with energy to shoot from the penalty spot.
The physical wear and tear was felt with every planned movement and even those who joined from the bench regulated their movements.
Estudiantes retained the courage of their original position despite having half a substitute.
The figure of Fernando Muslera grew in the final part as he became strong and grasped the centers that characterized the fear of the academy.
Adrián “Toto” Fernández lacked coolness when he received the ball for the last time and threw the ball very far away from the Pincha goal.

The definition of shots from the penalty spot reserved a prize for the red-haired goalkeeper that will add even more sparkle to his successful professional career.
The save in front of Martirena completely changed the direction that the decisive instance had taken when Cetré had been unable to do so with Facundo Cambeses’ brilliant strike.
Facundo Rodríguez received a basic nod of luck when it was his turn. The ball crossed the line after a moment of frightening tension. Because of this, defender Pardo came under pressure, which caused him great damage. He risked a lot and was left helpless.
The end arose from the roar that erupted to shout the magic word; “CHAMPION”.
Estudiantes de La Plata adds a real, not fictional, trophy to their display cases and will be remembered with the reward for knowing how to build it by gritting their teeth and swallowing bitter saliva.
León was on the field with Alario, Sosa, Tobio Burgos, Meza, Benedetti and Rodríguez
