Independiente’s poor run dents Apertura hopes when conceding | OneFootball

Independiente is going through a streak that affects its campaign in the Torneo Apertura: every time they concede a goal, they can't turn it around. In seven matches, the team has conceded seven goals and only won when they didn't concede any.

The "Rojo" defeated Platense and Lanús in matches without conceding goals. In the rest, the team dropped points: they drew after leading against Estudiantes and Newell's, and also drew with Vélez and Gimnasia y Esgrima (M).

The match against Independiente Rivadavia was the clearest case: the Rojo went from losing 1-0 to winning 2-1, but ended up losing 3-2.

Gustavo Quinteros' team scored nine goals in the tournament and is among the top scorers in their group, but the defensive fragility explains their inconsistency in the standings. In a short tournament, the margin for error is smaller and they can't keep dropping valuable points.
