Patronato drew with Temperley and extended their Primera Nacional run | OneFootball

Patronato drew 0-0 this Saturday against Temperley in the match that opened Round 11 of the Primera Nacional, Zone B. The game was played at the Alfredo Beranger Stadium, with Pablo Giménez as referee.

With this result, the team from Entre Ríos picked up points for the third straight matchday and remains outside the relegation spots.

A first half dominated by the home side

The team coached by Marcelo Candia lined up with a more crowded midfield and relied on Franco Soldano as its only attacking reference from the start.

Temperley took the initiative in the opening minutes and created the clearest chances of the first half. The home side tried to advance down the wings and found space through the movement of Luciano Nieto and Fernando Brandán.

Patronato, for its part, had some spells of possession, but struggled to threaten the opposing penalty area, and for much of the first half played far from the goal first defended by Ezequiel Mastrolía and then by Lisandro Morrone, who came on due to injury.

El Rojinegro improved in the final stretch

After the break, Temperley threatened again early on, although they were unable to turn their dominance into a lead.

As the minutes passed, the match lost intensity and Patronato settled better on the field. The substitutions gave the Paraná side a bit more attacking weight, and in the final stretch they dared to go after the opposing goal with greater determination.

The clearest chances came after a few combinations between Juan Barinaga and Juan Salas, as well as a shot by Federico Bravo that was blocked and another play in which Barinaga was denied by a good save from the home goalkeeper.

A useful point

Even though they were unable to win, Patronato earned a valuable draw on a tough ground and picked up another point in the league.

Candia’s side continues to build consistency and managed to finish another round outside the most dangerous area of the table.

Patronato lineup: Alan Sosa; Maximiliano Rueda, Gabriel Díaz, Franco Meritello and Santiago Piccioni; Juan Salas, Federico Bravo, Juan Barinaga and Valentín Pereyra; Brandon Cortés; Franco Soldano.
