Professional League: Goalless draw between Aldosivi and Central Córdoba at the start of the Clausura

The Professional League's Clausura Tournament kicked off with a goalless draw between Aldosivi and Central Córdoba in Mar del Plata . At the José María Minella Stadium, the home team showed a more ambitious stance, but the Santiago team managed to adapt and came close to taking it in the final whistle. A point to start, although the two teams felt differently.

The first half offered a brief period of excitement, between the 11th and 18th minutes . The Shark generated the most dangerous actions of the night: a precise cross from Agustín Palavecino found Tiago Serrago , who headed it just wide of the post. Then, Serrago himself unleashed a powerful shot from distance that challenged Alan Aguerre , who also played a key role by preventing the goal after a volley from Justo Gianni crashed off the post.

Central Córdoba was slow to settle in, and its goalkeeper, apparently suffering from discomfort, allowed a break, which coach Omar De Felippe used to reorganize his players. From then on, the game became more choppy and lacked rhythm, helped by refereeing that failed to maintain the momentum of the early game.

In the second half, Aldosivi tried to take control. However, they missed their key striker, Elías Torres (recently transferred to Racing ), and lacked clarity in the closing stages. The visitors, meanwhile, had the clearest chance of the second half: in the 82nd minute, a point-blank header from Lucas Abascia forced a good double response from goalkeeper Jorge Carranza.

Gentleness.

The final image was a close, somewhat lackluster match, with neither team able to impose itself on a sustained basis. Both teams will have little time to draw conclusions: Aldosivi will visit Defensa y Justicia on Monday, July 21, while Central Córdoba will face Cerro Largo in its Copa Sudamericana match on Tuesday , before facing Atlético Tucumán on Friday.
