He dominates in the middle sector, where he also creates numerical superiority with the rise of the wings. De la Cruz finished over the crossbar. The captain’s armband of Enzo Perez commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Argentine landing in the Malvinas Islands. The rest of the players also wore an allusive ribbon.
