Deportivo Riestra and Newell's Old Boys drew 1-1 on Monday in a dull match corresponding to the fifth round of Zone A of the Apertura Tournament, held at the Guillermo Laza stadium. The only goal for the team led by Gustavo Benítez was scored by Nicolás Benegas at the 35th minute of the first half, while Ignacio Ramírez scored the equalizer for 'La Lepra' from a penalty at the 43rd minute of the second half, according to Agencia Noticias Argentinas. With this result, both teams continue to not win in the local championship and complicated their position in the annual standings, which grants a spot to the Primera Nacional, the second division of Argentine football. The 'albinegro' team will face Huracán next Saturday at 19:15 at home for the sixth round of the Argentine tournament. Meanwhile, the team led by the duo Favio Orsi and Sergio Gómez will visit Banfield on the same day starting at 17:00. The team led by the duo Favio Orsi and Sergio Gómez rescued a necessary point at the end from the penalty spot, as they had accumulated three defeats and only one draw achieved against Independiente in the second round. Riestra struck first through Nicolás Benegas, who took advantage of a poor clearance by the Rosario defense to open the score in a dull first half in which they had a certain superiority. In the second half, it seemed the result would not change due to the development of the match.
