Buenos Aires, Feb 5 (NA) – Barracas Central imposed 4-3 on penalties against Temperley and advanced to the round of 16 of the Copa Argentina, after tying 2-2 in regular time, in a match played at the Julio Humberto Grondona stadium. The goalkeeper of 'Guapo' Juan Espinola saved the penalty from Nicolás Molina, while Adrián Arregui hit the post. For the red and white team, Gastón Campi, Norberto Briasco, Facundo Bruera and Rodrigo Insúa scored. For their part, for the blue team, Gian Nardelli, Facundo Kruger and Lucas Angelini scored from the penalty spot. According to what Noticias Argentinas agency could find out, the goals for those led by Rubén Darío Insua were scored by Bruera twice, at 12' and 36' of the second half. Meanwhile, Valentín Aguiñagalde and Valentino Werro, at 32' and 43' of the initial stage respectively, scored for 'Gasolero'. In this way, Barracas Central advanced to the next round of the championship, where it will face the winner of the cross between Huracán and Olimpo. With a solid approach by coach Nicolás Domingo, 'Gasolero' took the lead over 'Guapo' in the first half and struck a double blow at a rival who could not find the rhythm of the match. First, Valentín Aguiñagalde anticipated everyone and connected with a header a free kick executed by Luciano Nieto to place the ball far from the reach of goalkeeper Juan Espinola and open the scoring. There were less than five minutes left in the first half when Valentino Werro appeared to, by the same means, increase the difference after a great collective play that included a center from the left by Lucas Angelini. On the other hand, Barracas Central changed its attitude in the second half and began to generate dangerous occasions in the area defended by Ezequiel Mastrolia until it managed to discount at 12 minutes. The forward Facundo Bruera also imposed himself in the high with a powerful shot to overcome the hands of the Temperley goalkeeper and give his team hope to equalize the match and avoid elimination in the first round of the tournament. At 36', it was again the 27-year-old forward who won in the heights for the second time and equalized a complicated encounter for those led by Rubén Darío Insua and it was enough to take the duel to penalties.
