Belgrano beat Newell’s, to face Argentinos in Copa Argentina semis | OneFootball

Belgrano showed a good football performance tonight in San Luis and defeated Newell’s 3-1 to reach the semifinals of the Copa Argentina for the first time in its history.

With a double from Franco Jara at 27 minutes of the first half and at 32 of the second, and another goal from Lisandro López at 6 minutes into the second half, the “Pirate” was superior throughout the match played at the Estadio Único La Pedrera and will now face Argentinos Juniors.

Newell's had taken the lead through Carlos González Espínola.

Newell’s struck first, just nine minutes in, with a goal from Paraguayan González Espínola, who scored precisely after an assist from Darío Benedetto, who was playing his second match as a starter with the “Lepra.”

However, the lead was short-lived: Belgrano reorganized, balanced the game, and found the equalizer past the twenty-minute mark thanks to Jara, who opened the scoring for the Cordoban team with a scissor volley that beat goalkeeper Juan Espínola.

In the second half, Belgrano showed superiority in all aspects of the game. Espínola had a remarkable reaction to a point-blank shot but couldn’t control the rebound, which “Licha” López capitalized on to make it 2-1 in favor of the Pirate.

The Cordoban team continued to control the pace of the match and sealed the victory nine minutes from the end with a remarkable team play that ended once again with Jara scoring inside the area for the final 3-1.
