The match

Patronato had an irregular first half, they never found their football level and Almagro stood well on the field, being a little more throughout the initial stage. The first 45 minutes showed few chances of scoring.

Maximiliano Rueda troubled with a strong shot from afar and Gabriel Díaz could not connect a center from Juan Barinaga. They were only approximations in a flat match. Meanwhile, their rival did better, although without danger, only with distant shots.

In the second half, the tone of the match did not change and the visitor had the clearest chances, with a shot on the post and a clearance by Alan Sosa, who once again turned out to be a key figure to keep the goal at zero. The point served Patronato to advance.

With this draw, the team from Paraná entered the Reducido, where they will fight to rise to the highest category of Argentine football. To qualify for the Copa Argentina they will have to wait for the last date and with another draw they will get the pass. Now they will visit Ferro on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
