In the 9 de Julio Park, Swimming and Gymnastics and Lawn Tennis killed points. In a very changing match and with an end to the infarction, the “Benjamines” stayed with the triumph for 42-37, for the fifth date of the Tucumano. The result allowed them, at least for a while, getting up at the top of the table.
Embroeded after taking the undefeated Tucumán Rugby on his court last week, the “whites” came out with everything. In the first play of the game, after their own departure, they forced a penalty in a rival field that the fullback César Rivadeneira He turned to open the score. Three minutes later, Ignacio Rodríguez PradosOpening of Lawn Tennis, matched the actions with a long distance penalty.
After those first minutes with little game, it was the visitor who imposed conditions. With a great hand and a lot of dynamics, he forced swimming and gymnastics to play near his own Ingal. Those directed by Bernabé Alzabe They stopped an attack with a fishing near Ingoal, but, afterwards, a mistake cost them a try against them. After a short kick of Santiago Rez Masud, Martín Barroslocal wing, could not retain the ball on the floor, and Santiago Bellagambatimely, captured it and escaped to the Ingoal. The initial 10-3 was transformed into 13-3 after a few minutes, with a Rez Masud penalty, which had also succeeded the previous conversion.
Swimming and gymnastics cost him the process. I could not find holes in rival defense and could only advance when Lawn Tennis fell into infractions. A Rivadeneira penalty allowed him to discount, and the team began to encourage a little more.
The last 10 minutes of the first half were crazy. At 32 ‘, after another rival infraction, the first local try arrived with a powerful maul that allowed him to support Tomás Juárez. Minutes later, winning meters with another penalty, a great movement of Gonzalo Terraf broke through the center and ended in a new try, supported by the scrum medium AAllow Majolli. With accurate conversions of Rivadeneira, Swimming and Gymnastics passed to the front 20-13.
The score seemed immovable until the break, but over time, Lawn Tennis matched the game with a Try of Maul supported by Ulises Giorgis and converted by Rez Masud: 20-20 to the halftime.
That try was key to Lawn Tennis. Not only allowed him to avoid going disadvantage, but gave him a mood for complement.
During a good stretch of the second half, Lawn Tennis appeared again to the devastating team last year. After enduring some attacks without clarity of swimming, it had just over 15 minutes impeccable. After two failed attempts – one with a detainee maul and another with a ranged ball when Joaquín López Islas He threw himself into the Ingal – the third was the defeated: another fruitful maul allowed him Franco Padua Support and put the “benjamines” up again.
Rivadeneira had the chance to discount with a penalty that was diverted. Minutes later, after recovering a ball a meters from his own Ingal, Lawn Tennis again billed. A great 50-22 kick from Matías Ferrofollowed by a play between López Islas, Miguel Mukdise y Marcos Giacosaended in Try of the latter, with a great change of passage that allowed him to avoid the only rival who tried to stop him.
The two tries hit swimming and gymnastics. The game seemed liquidated, even more when a knock-on of Nahuel Molina In rival field he ended in a new Try in Ferro, who received from Thiago Soberón And he escaped on the left. A pass reduction fell to Rivadeneira and paved the way in the final meters.
In just over 10 minutes, Lawn Tennis went from 20-20 to 39-20 (with a failed conversion of Rez Masud). The result seemed irreversible. But there was still.
The reaction was urgent, and swimming responded. At 26 ‘, through Maul – one of its most effective formations – came the try of Jonah Molina. And shortly after, after recovering a ball in the middle of the court, Ignacio Martínez He received on the left, kicked above his rival, won in speed to Facundo Novillo and threw itself into the Ingoal to support. From 20-39 to 34-39, with more than 10 minutes to play.
Lawn Tennis looked for a try that gave him air. He did not get it, but a penalty that Rez Masud transformed into three points. Rivadeneira responded with another penalty, to leave the score 37-42. Already with a time fulfilled, swimming and gymnastics had the ball and the possibility of looking for the miracle, but a knock-on in the field of its own Ignacio Lazarte He sentenced the story.
“We had been working a lot to turn the page fast when things did not go out and continue with good actions. That was key, because after that pothole we had at the end of the first half, we knew how to get up, we returned to the bases, we won the duels and marked points,” said Ferro, Captain of Lawn Tennis, in dialogue with La Gaceta. The fullback said that the “benjamines” stayed with the “mental battle”, in addition to being physically strong.
On the other hand, he indicated that the result is key to reaching the duel against GER next week, for the interior tournament A, after having fallen 53-20 in Rosario. “We have a debt. In that party we do not demonstrate what we can do. We have been working hard thinking about that meeting, without neglecting each party and each training,” he said.
The place at the top lasted just a few hours to Lawn Tennis. Because at night, in Los Tarcos, Tucumán Rugby got a worked win over the premises, 20-19, and resumed his position as leader. The “Benjamines”, anyway, remained as the only escorts, since Jockey gave the Batacazo and beat Cardinals 32-27 as a visitor. The date will be completed today, with the duel between Huirapuca and Lince in Concepción; “Huira” will have the chance, in case of winning, to reach the Lawn Tennis line.
