Buenos Aires, January 22 (NA) – Platense drew 0-0 away in the first match of Zone A of the Apertura Tournament, held at the 15 de Abril stadium in Santa Fe. According to the Argentine News Agency, both Platense's goalkeeper Matias Borgogno and his counterpart from Union, Matias Mansilla, made crucial interventions to keep a clean sheet. With this result, both teams earned one point at the start of Group A of the local championship. Coach: Leonardo Madelón. Platense: Matias Borgogno; Tomás Silva, Eugenio Raggio, Ignacio Vázquez, Juan Ignacio Saborido; Juan Gauto, Felipe Bussio, Maximiliano Amarfil, Guido Mainero; Franco Zapiola; Leonardo Heredia. In the second round, the team from Vicente López will receive Instituto de Córdoba next Monday, while the 'Tatengue' will visit Lanús on January 29 at La Fortaleza. The first half was sluggish and in line with the teams' low pace at the start of the season: the teams went to the break without a score, with the players coached by Walter Zunino being slightly superior. The local goalkeeper made a key intervention to prevent Leonardo Heredia, a 30-year-old Platense striker, from scoring before the first minute. In the second half, the 'Tatengue' grew, dominated the opportunities, and started to reach the opponent's area more insistently, but was met with a solid performance by Matias Borgogno and failed to breach the goalkeeper's defense.
