After a real struggle, Newell’s beat Talleres and spoiled Sampaoli’s debut | OneFootball

At the start of the Clausura Tournament, Newell’s defeated Talleres de Córdoba 1-0 in a match that kept alive the possibility of an equalizer until the end, although the home side successfully held onto the lead, with a stellar performance from goalkeeper Josué Reinatti. Uruguayan Matías Cóccaro, from the penalty spot, scored the game’s only goal 10 minutes into the second half and spoiled Jorge Sampaoli’s debut as coach of the Córdoba side, following the departure of Carlos Tévez.

The visitors — who appealed for a possible handball by Jerónimo Russo in the box near the end of the match — played the final minutes with 10 men after the sending-off of Román Riquelme, one of the new signings for this second half of the season.

Now, Fran Darío Kudelka’s team will have to visit Independiente next Thursday, July 30, starting at 9:15 p.m. La T, meanwhile, will continue the Argentine competition by hosting Vélez — who beat Instituto 1-0 in their opener — on the same day, but starting at 7 p.m.
