Agonizing Triumph and San Martin De Tucuman in the Lead

He is sweet. He is in his best moment of the season. He does not shine, he does not shine. But he is hungry for glory, something fundamental and necessary to take the big leap towards the Professional League . San Martín de Tucumán worked, worked and worked, and found his reward: he scored the goal he had been looking for for so long at 49 minutes of the second half to beat Chacarita 1-0 and reach his namesake from San Juan at the top of Zone A of the PN . Yes, at the top.

The Agonizing Goal.

One, two, three, four, a thousand. Ciruja got tired of having opportunities to open the scoring. From start to finish, the team showed its grit, took control of the ball, managed the timing and pressed hard up front against a Funebrero that has yet to react, despite the departure of Aníbal Biggeri and the arrival of Manuel Fernández (seven without a win, due to 3PE and 4PP).

Agonizing Triumph and San Martin De Tucuman in the Lead.

As time went by, the chances piled up and the anger over wasted chances increased. Junior Arias had a header that went over the crossbar and a shot that hit the hair. In the second half, Santo did not give up, put on his overalls and continued with his mind set.

Far from feeling the pressure of having to win against SMSJ’s triumph at the start of the day, San Martín took advantage of the momentum of consecutive victories against San Miguel, Quilmes, Talleres de Remedios de Escalada and Estudiantes de Caseros, and did not despair and stepped on the accelerator in the final stretch. There, amid the nerves of the more than 20 thousand fans who filled the Ciudadela, Juan Cuevas captured a rebound, hit the goal and Iván Molinas ended up deflecting it to make the task difficult for Marino Arzamendia who did not arrive.
