Buenos Aires, Feb 5 (NA) – Deportivo Riestra imposed 1-0 on Deportivo Maipú in a slow-paced match corresponding to the 32nd finals of the Copa Argentina, held at the Ciudad de Caseros stadium. According to Noticias Argentinas, the only goal for the “Malevo” was scored by forward Ángel Stringa at 44 minutes of the first half, giving them the victory and qualification to the 16th finals. With this win, the Bajo Flores team will face the winner of the clash between San Lorenzo and Deportivo Rincón in the next round. In a balanced first half with two very marked playing styles, the “Malevo” managed to take the lead with a goal from Ángel Stringa, who received a through pass from Mateo Ramírez and scored between the legs of goalkeeper Nahuel Galardi. The goal in the last minutes of that stage gave tranquility and the advantage at halftime to those led by Gustavo Benítez, who sought to sustain the difference in the second half instead of trying to expand it. Maipú controlled the ball and sought to reach the rival area with associations, especially in the midfield, while Riestra retreated and tried to hurt the “Botellero” on the counterattack due to the need of the Mendoza team to achieve equality to avoid elimination in the tournament. Little by little, Maipú faded and began to send long balls into the area with the objective of being able to reach the goal, without success, while the albinegros with the match in their favor did not despair and were close to putting 2-0 with a shot from Nicolás Benegas that hit the post at 36 minutes. The same author wasted a great opportunity to practically sentence the duel in the final moments of the match when he missed a one-on-one against Galardi by trying to send the ball over the goalkeeper.
