LPF: Gimnasia tied with Argentinos and was left out of the fight for the title

Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata tied goalless at home with Argentinos Juniors at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium, in a match corresponding to the twenty-sixth date of the Professional League tournament and was left without mathematical chances to fight for the title. The Wolf failed to take possession of the ball in the first half and was widely outplayed by the visitor, who had the clearest with a strong shot to the crossbar and forced Rodrigo Rey to intervene on several occasions. Later, Néstor “Pipo” Gorosito tried to put the most offensive team, but the “Bicho” took over the clearest situations. With 15 to go, Eric Ramírez intercepted a kick from Federico Lanzillota and opened the scoring for the “Lobo”, but it was canceled by referee Yael Falcón Pérez for a foul on the goalkeeper.

In the absence of two games for the end of the championship, the platense cast was far from its best version and lost any chance of fighting the title to the leader, Boca Juniors: it was seven points and will face next Wednesday for the pending game, with only six at stake. The match had as a special seasoning that was key in the fight for the classification to the Copa Libertadores, because the Wolf accumulates 65 units in the annual table and Argentinos has 64, a difference that will be defined in the last date.
