Estudiantes RC beat Tigre in Forastello's debut | OneFootball

Estudiantes de Río Cuarto got off to a strong start in the Clausura Tournament. In Rubén Darío Forestello’s debut as head coach, the Córdoba side beat Tigre 1-0 at the Antonio Candini Stadium and picked up three crucial points in its fight to move out of the relegation zone.

In a match with few thrills and barely any clear chances, play was very even and everything pointed to a draw as the most logical outcome. However, in the 30th minute of the second half, Sergio Ojeda broke the deadlock and gave the León del Imperio the victory.

The goal proved decisive in a match where the battle outweighed the flowing team play. Forestello therefore enjoyed an ideal debut in charge of Estudiantes, who opened the campaign with a smile and renewed their hopes of leaving the relegation fight behind.

For Tigre, meanwhile, the defeat is a setback ahead of an important fixture: next Tuesday they will host Nacional in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana playoff. Estudiantes, for their part, will visit Argentinos Juniors in the second round of the Clausura.
