San Martín (SJ) outclass Madryn to progress in Copa Argentina | OneFootball

In a duel between teams from the Primera Nacional, San Martín de San Juan convincingly defeated Deportivo Madryn in the Round of 64 of the Copa Argentina. The "Verdinegro," who entered as a seeded team, managed to impose their conditions at the Estadio Ciudad de Caseros and confirmed their ambition to be a leading contender in the federal tournament, resolving the match with tactical solidity.

The course of the game was extremely balanced during the first half. Both teams focused on maintaining defensive order, which led to a tight game with very few dangerous situations in the areas. However, this parity was broken just as the second half began, when the San Juan team found the clarity they lacked in the final meters.

Just 1 minute into the second half, Leonardo Monje took advantage of a loose ball after a cross from Facundo Nadalín and pushed it into the net to open the scoring. From there, Deportivo Madryn was forced to take risks and advance their lines, a situation that Ariel Martos' team capitalized on through quick offensive transitions to seal the match.

Already at the end of the day, at 49 minutes, Gabriel Hachen led a decisive counterattack and assisted Federico Murillo, who scored with a backheel to seal the 2-0 final. With this victory, San Martín de San Juan advances to the Round of 32, where they will face Platense, also gaining an important morale boost for their rebuilding process.
