Late drama: Independiente edge Central Córdoba to claim three points | OneFootball

After two matches without a win, El Rojo celebrated with a 2-0 victory at the Libertadores de América, where they did all the work but only managed to score at the end with goals from Ávalos and Marcone. They temporarily moved up to third place.

Another matchday has passed for Independiente, who were always looking for the win and secured it in the final moments of Saturday's game.

With a packed stadium and a very pleasant evening, the King of Cups had to work hard to push through and take all three points.

What we showed in the first 45 minutes wasn't all that bad. The match unfolded just as expected: we had possession of the ball and they tried to counterattack.

In that initial stage, we had clear chances to break the deadlock. We even hit the post twice.

The first was after a cross into the box from Abaldo, and the second was a left-footed shot from Malcorra that rattled the crossbar.

In the second half, not only did the dynamic not change, but it became even more pronounced. We pushed forward and always played very close to their area.

Quinteros sent Cabral and Montiel onto the field to freshen up the attack, but neither made much of an impact, and that's why we started to lose clarity.

The first goal came at the end. Arias sent in a cross from the right, Gabriel Ávalos jumped higher than anyone and placed it near Aguerre's left post.

In stoppage time, we sealed the deal. Iván Marcone opened up his foot and slotted it low, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.
