Barracas Central claimed a hard-fought victory on Wednesday at the Estadio Claudio Chiqui Tapia in the 7th round of the Apertura. After falling behind early in the game, the home team rallied to win 2-1, thanks to a brace from Fernando Tobio (6’ of the second half) and Facundo Bruera (9’ of the same stage). Tigre initially took the lead with Ignacio Russo scoring in the 22nd minute of the first half.
After an impressive play, Barracas managed to equalize before completing the comeback with a header from Bruera.
Tigre’s defenseman Federico Álvarez had two great chances to change the outcome but was thwarted by the post on both attempts.
Facundo Bruera was rightfully named the Player of the Match, scoring one goal and taking two shots on target, while Marcelo Miño stood out in goal for Barracas Central, making five crucial saves throughout the match.
The home side, managed by Rubén Insúa, utilized a 5-3-2 formation with Marcelo Miño in goal, supported by defenders Rafael Barrios, Nicolás Capraro, Fernando Tobio, Nicolás Demartini, and Rodrigo Insúa; midfielders Tomás Porra, Dardo Miloc, and Iván Tapia; and forwards Facundo Bruera and Jhonatan Candia.
On the other hand, Diego Dabove’s Tigre set up in a conventional 4-4-2, with Tomás Sultani in goal, accompanied by defenders Martín Garay, Ramón Arias, Alan Barrionuevo, and Federico Álvarez, while the midfield featured Jabes Saralegui, Jalil Elías, Gonzalo Piñeiro, and Santiago López, with Ignacio Russo and David Romero leading the attack.
The match was officiated by Pablo Dóvalo.
Barracas Central’s next fixture will be an away match against Argentinos Juniors, whereas Tigre will host Gimnasia.
