Belgrano 1 - Racing 1

Suarez was a constant threat (Photo source: LMCBA)

Belgrano will be happy after snatching an unlikely draw against a superior Racing Club outfit. Belgrano were only able to match Racing Club in the opening 10 minutes where the midfield was overcrowded and tempers were flying. But it was after a crucial moment that everything went wrong for the home team. Suarez, playing one of his best matches, raced into the box only to be brought down by the keeper. It was a penalty and a red card but the referee thought otherwise and booked Suarez for diving. Belgrano were outraged and that would prove costly for them. After that, Racing Club monopolised possession and created several chances. The opening goal arrived courtesy of Sava who kept his cool and beat Olave after a great assist by Bonet. Racing deserved their lead and they could have extended it in the following 20 minutes. Belgrano cleared twice on the line in the same play, Shaffer hit the post with Olave beaten and Sanchez forced the keeper to a great save. Only luck and the visitors' unability to make good on their chances were keeping Belgrano in the game. Gigli took to the pitch at the start of the second half. Belgrano now had Suarez and Gigli upfront and it made a difference. Although they didn't have the ball, they looked more threatening while Racing lost their momentum. Still, Belgrano didn't create much. Only a few isolated chances that were managed by their keeper. And an isolated play was all it took for Belgrano to get even. Garcia chased a ball that the Racing defender smashed against his body, the bounce going to Gigli who slotted the ball past Martinez Gullota. It was an amazing feeling and the stadium came alive. Only 15 minutes remaining and there was only time for two missed Racing chances and a missed header from Gigli. Racing felt like they had done enough to get the three points but Belgrano took one of their few chances and they are very much live in this promotion tie.

Defensa y Justicia 1 - Belgrano 2

Belgrano produced a miraculous recovery from 1-0 down in the first half to earn themselves a hugely important 2-1 victory with late goals from Suarez and Gigli. The victory means that Belgrano ended fourth in the tournament and will play two promotion legs to contend for a place in the top flight. More to follow...

Belgrano proved yet again unable to take their chances to record a much-needed win and had to settle for a draw against the relegation-threatened Nueva Chicago. With this result, Belgrano are now in 6th position and they not only need a win in the last round but also a combination of results if they are to reach either the 3rd or 4th spot. It's a long shot, but this is Belgrano. Nothing is lost yet. More to follow...

It was always going to be a tall order against the leaders at their home ground but Belgrano must have left disappointed knowing that they had everything to win the match and yet they let it slip from their hands. The first twenty minutes saw Belgrano produce the best chances against a solid but ineffectual San Martin. Suarez and Gigli were a nightmare for the San Martin defenders and it was Suarez who was brought down in the area prompting the referee to signal to the spot. Penalty to Belgrano. Gigli stepped up but his weak effort was stopped by the goalkeeper. The match changed after that incident and San Martin felt revitalised starting to circulate the ball in the midfield. Belgrano took another blow when Maidana was shown a second yellow for a clumsy foul and got the marching orders. And to make matters worse, Campodonico, a former Belgrano striker, unleashed a fierce drive that rushed into the net. San Martin went close to scoring another but luckily for Belgrano the half ended only 1-0. Belgrano had to reshuffle for the second half and that they did but they gave up on any attacking intent. They just sat back trying to deny San Martin and hoping to launch the occasional break. That break never looked likely to arrive and it didn't. San Martin were conceded a penalty near the end making it 2-0 but the match had been over for a long while by then.

Belgrano 0 - Quilmes 2

Belgrano wasted a great chance to get a hold of third position after going down to an efficient display by the visiting team. The home team started positively and were trying to take the game to Quilmes but this only lasted for 10 minutes. Giampietri (Q) gradually started to boss the midfield and spread the ball out to the wingers. Belgrano were out of sorts and didn't look threatening except for a few isolated attacks. Quilmes had the better chances -Giampietri hit the post and Olave produced a great save minutes earlier- and were unlucky not to be winning at half time. But if the first half saw a lackadaisical approach by Belgrano, the second half evidenced their defensive problems. Berza, Martinez and Turus were unable to stop the attacks from the wings and it was only a matter of time until Quilmes got the deserved opener. And it came courtesy of the best man in the pitch, the former Belgrano man, Adrian Giampietri. He received the ball outside the box and unleashed a fierce shot that, despite Olave's reaction, went slowly into the net. Quilmes were good for their victory and Belgrano looked dejected. In fact, the Belgrano reaction was short-lived and ineffectual and Quilmes looked more likely to scoring the second than Belgrano equalizing. When the match was dying, Quilmes made a quick break that was superbly finished by Diego Garcia. It was 0-2 and game over. Belgrano had played one of their worst match of the season and the supporters vented their anger with the coach and players. Belgrano are lying dangerously close to losing any promotion chance and this would be one of the biggest failures of recent years.

Ben Hur 1 - Belgrano 2

Belgrano kept their promotion hopes very much alive after securing an unlikely win against Ben Hur in Rafaela. With Ben Hur desperately fighting to avoid relegation and Belgrano needing a win to help them close in on the promotion spots, it promised to be an exciting match. Only that it wasn't. Both sides looked average and were bereft of ideas to get a result. Ben Hur were more positive throughout the game while Belgrano decided to play the waiting game that so well has suited them lately. And the first goal came from a quick Belgrano break that saw Gigli connecting a perfect cross from Suarez. Belgrano didn't have time to celebrate since 4 minutes later, Klusener evened the match with a lobbed header. The goals had arrived but the match was still very poor. Ben Hur threatened the Belgrano goal several times before half time but Belgrano held on firmly. Gomez decided to pull Gigli out and rebuilt a four-men defense aiming at having a grasp of the ball. Ben Hur seemed to have slowed down their pace and were finding it harder to unsettle Belgrano. When the match was undoubtedly heading for a draw, Suarez had another cross into the box that found his way to Lollo who scored with a half-volley. It was 2-1 with 4 minutes left and Belgrano were jubilant. There would be still time for a gross mistake by the referee who should have given Ben Hur a penalty and a disallowed Ben Hur goal for a clear offside position. Belgrano didn't deserve to win, but with the chance of promotion so close to our grasp, who cares?

Belgrano 0 - Independiente (MZA) 1

Belgrano lacked ideas (Photo source: LMCBA)

Belgrano suffered a huge blow to their promotion hopes after a shock loss to Independiente de Mendoza. At this stage, it is evident that Belgrano are not only lacking good play but also confidence. Because Independiente (MZA) didn't do much to deserve to win but they found an early goal after a header by Giarrizo (I) and that was all it took to undo Belgrano. After that goal, Belgrano showed why they have been unable to win home matches. They were nervous, as if they were afraid to try to play football. The few chances they created were either squandered by the strikers or easily disposed of by the Independiente (MZA)'s keeper. Manzanelli and Crossa came close to an equalizer but Belgrano could have played all afternoon and still wouldn't have scored a goal. The frustration of the home fans grew larger and they took it with the coach and some of the players. There was no late-gasp goal to save the draw this time around and Belgrano may yet have to work very hard to cling to the fourth place in the remaining five matches. It was disheartening for the fans who were clearly expecting a win and a revenge for the 7-0 humiliation suffered last year in Mendoza. Belgrano go to relegation-troubled Ben Hur next round.

Talleres 0 - 0 Belgrano

Talleres and Belgrano ended up locked in a goalless draw that was ultimately disappointing for both teams. Belgrano had better chances but Talleres also threatened upfront and in the end the draw felt like it was the right result. The opening minutes saw Belgrano dictating play with both Gigli and Bustos causing difficulties for the Talleres defenders. Lollo, helped by Lux, controlled the midfield and the Belgrano back line kept the home team strikers at bay. Brasca (T) saved from Bustos and Gigli and Talleres only threatened with a ball that ricotched to Reyes that forced a prompt response from Olave. Although Talleres slowly started to put a foot in the game, Belgrano were more dangerous and went close to opening the score when Bustos rattled the crossbar from long range as the half come to a close. The second half was more evenly matched. Talleres improved with the introduction of Rosales and Viveros while Belgrano opted to sit back waiting for their chance. Talleres threatened, usually with dangerous crosses and through balls that were cleared by the Belgrano defense. The match seemed to present Belgrano with a golden chance when Brasca (T) was sent off after a childish headbutt on Aldecoa but Talleres held on firmly. It could have gone Belgrano's way but ultimately the goalless draw seemed the more fitting result for a match that offered very little from both sides. They sure put in a gutsy and spirited display but they forgot about the football.

Belgrano squandered yet another chance to shorten the gap with second-placed Godoy Cruz after a poor 1-1 draw against Aldosivi. In truth, it could have been worse for Belgrano since they were down a goal since the 48 minute and only found the equalizer within extra time. But it was another poor showing from our team and it is a worrying sign going into the final rounds of the tournament. More to follow...

Almagro 0 - 1 Belgrano

Belgrano fostered their chances of a direct promotion after recording an unlikely win against Almagro. Despite Belgrano being the dominant force in the opening minutes, they were second best throughout the match. Almagro were strong on the ball and created several chances but were squandered one after another. Belgrano, in the meantime, resorted to counterattacking; their only two chances in the first half came that way. The half closed and the draw sounded about right since both teams had opportunities to open the score. A very determined Almagro side came out for the second half while Belgrano inexplicably gave up their attacking intentions. Matters took a turn for the worse when Turus received his second yellow and left the team down to ten men. Belgrano then decided to sit back and try to weather the storm. The away team frustrated Almagro time after time and were lucky to get a free kick in the dying moments. Suarez delivered a perfect cross that man-of-the-match Lollo headed into the net showing great anticipation. Almagro were left ruing their missed chances and they certainly didn't deserve to lose but Belgrano wanted none of it. They had won an important game and the players were ecstatic. So are we fans.

Tiro Federal 1 - 2 Belgrano

Belgrano recorded an important away victory and revitalised their promotion hopes climbing back to third position, nine points adrift of the top spot. Tiro Federal started in positive fashion but Belgrano matched their enthusiasm and soon started to dominate the game. Aldecoa and Garcia were running down the wing and Bustos and Gigli were a constant threat. It was not surprising then that Belgrano opened the scoring with a precise header by Aldecoa who scored his second goal for Belgrano. The goal rattled Tiro Federal and Belgrano had no less than three chances to double their lead: Gigli and Bustos came very close and Farre hit the woodwork. But the failure to capitalise on this dominance brought some distractions that all but invigorated Tiro Federal. When the half was drawing to a close, Chavez fooled the Belgrano defense and scored the coming in from behind. The second half saw a better Tiro Federal while Belgrano went very deep and limited to the occasional break. Tiro were doing all the work but the match was still 1-1. The introduction of Casado meant Belgrano were intent on getting hold of the ball to slow the pace down. But, with five minutes left, Aldecoa dribbled his way past several defenders to assist Casado who whipped the ball into the net. Tiro Federal were left frustrated since they knew they had done enough to at least get a draw but Belgrano didn't mind. They celebrated a great victory and their morale couldn't be better going into the last 10 rounds of the tournament.

Belgrano 0 - Ferro C.O. 1

Belgrano were stunned by Ferro on Monday night causing a big blow to their hopes of grabbing one of the spots granting direct promotion to Primera. It was evident from the kickoff that Belgrano were in for a difficult night given their early difficulties to manage possession. Gomez gamble didn't pay off as leaving Casado on the bench meant that there was virtually no playmaker. And this limited the effectiveness of both Suarez and Casado who were only active during the first 20 minutes of the match, aptly assisted by Aldecoa and Arriola. But once the Belgrano wingers were shut, any hopes of winning the match evaporated. Ferro, a limited team with a disciplined approach, started to control the midfield and to create some danger near the Belgrano area. After a rather uneventful first half, the tenacity displayed by the visitors paid off after a corner kick was twice headed in Olave's area. Brown (F) was the scorer and it was probably deserved. Belgrano were worryingly bereft of ideas and pressed on hopelessly. In fact, Ferro was closer to scoring their second than Belgrano to drawing level. Despite Belgrano spraying the rival area with crosses and corner kicks, the victory was never in doubt for the visitors. Although Ferro did enough to deserve a goal, it was Belgrano languid performance that opened the door for Ferro. With the victory, Ferro put an end to a nine match unbeaten Belgrano run.

Although the C.A.I. dictated play for most of the match, Belgrano grabbed a late equalizer to keep their promotion hopes intact and climbed to third in the table. The C.A.I. started better controlling posession and Belgrano decided to sit back and launch the occasional break. But although the C.A.I. had the monopoly of the ball, both teams had scoring chances during the first half. Casado and Suarez came close to scoring for Belgrano while Rivadeneira and Jara threatened the Belgrano goal. The first half ended with Belgrano having to withstand heavy pressure. Belgrano introduced Esteban to reshape their defensive line up but soon thereafter Martinez got injured and the coach decided to bring Aldecoa as a right wing back. The C.A.I's efforts paid off 30 minutes into the second half after a bad clearance gave Jara plenty of time to smash the ball into the net. Belgrano took some time to assimilate the blow but forced the C.A.I. deffensively with some aggresive play. It seemed as if Belgrano unbeaten run would come to an end, but some heroic play involving Lollo, Gigli and Novaretti saw the latter calmly scoring from close range. The final whistle came after that play and Belgrano were celebrating an unlikely draw against a solid team in a very difficult ground.

Belgrano 1 - 1 Union (SF)

The teams were evenly matched (Photo source: LMCBA)

Belgrano squandered a golden chance to climb up to second in the table after a 1-1 draw with Union de Santa Fe. The home team weren't at their best and despite starting the match in vigorous form, it soon became clear that it was going to be another difficult afternoon. But they went ahead following a pin-point corner kick headed into the net by Luciano Lollo (his first ever goal for Belgrano). But instead of keep pushing for a vital second goal, Belgrano decided to sit back and let Union control posession. It soon proved to be the wrong choice as the link-up between Torres and Zarate started to create gaps in the Belgrano defense. Union were deserving of an equalizer and it arrived after a corner kick that Zarate volleyed past Olave. Union were happy to end the half with a draw and Belgrano were bereft of ideas to create chances. Arriola replaced the ineffectual Aldecoa but nothing really changed as Belgrano lacked a clear gameplan and were only kicking the ball upwards. With Suarez and Casado uninspired, there was little hope for a Belgrano win. Torres' dismissal gave Belgrano numerical advantage, but the home team were unable to take advantage of this. In fact, it was Union who were closer to run away with the win. Overall, the draw was a fair reflection of a hotly contested match between two seasoned teams that will surely be among those fighting for a promotion spot by the end of the season.

Atletico Rafaela 1 - 1 Belgrano

Atletico Rafaela and Belgrano played an entertaining draw that was just about a fair reflection of the merits of both teams. Atletico Rafaela started in better form gaining the upper hand after just 7 minutes when Bazan Vera headed the ball into the net. With the lead, Rafaela got hold of the ball and were controlling the game. But Belgrano slowly started to get back into the game with link play between Suarez and Casado and they were slightly unfortunate to go into half-time the losing side. Belgrano took to the second half in full attacking fashion and they were boosted by the introduction of Arriola. But it was Casado once again that delivered a perfect cross for Bustos (his 9th goal in seven matches) who beat Pezutti with a beautifully placed header. Belgrano could have gone in front in the next 10 minutes where they controlled the ball and the game, but Pezutti responded well. Mario Gomez introduced two defensive changes -presumably due to exhaustion and injury- and decided to hold on. In effect, Belgrano held on tightly to the draw and were never seriously troubled by Rafaela. It was a good draw in a difficult ground that sees Belgrano edges ever closer to the promotion spots.

Belgrano 3 - Godoy Cruz 0

Claudio Bustos receives a deserved standing ovation

Belgrano produced a solid display to defeat Godoy Cruz 3-0 and continued their title push entering the last third of the season. Bustos scored a first-half brace and Aldecoa put the icing on the cake in the second half. At half-time, Belgrano led 2-0 courtesy of two fine goals by Claudio Bustos. While both teams had their share of possession, Belgrano had more ambition than Godoy Cruz and started opening the Godoy Cruz' defense through Suarez and Casado. The goal was going to arrive at any minute and it was Bustos with a brace that gave Belgrano their halftime lead. Godoy Cruz had only two shots at goal late in the half, hitting the post in one of them. [More to follow...]

Belgrano 2 - 2 Instituto

More than 30000 fans cheered for Belgrano

After a relatively quiet first half in which the scores were level with one goal apiece, no one was prepared for what was going to come in a hugely entertaining and eventful second half. Claudio Bustos had earlier scored from the spot after Suarez was brought down and Morales Neumann had equalized through a well-executed counterattack. The first half closed with Belgrano showing more ambition and desire but without ideas to match that ambition. The second half started in much the same way with Belgrano still going strong at the Instituto goal but it was Instituto who went in front after Morales Neuman was brought down and Maglio duly signed to the spot. Romero took charge of the penalty and Instituto went ahead 2-1. Things went from bad to worse for Belgrano as Martinez was sent-off for a clumsy challenge. Turus was to see the red card next for his ball-stopping heroics that ended in a penalty awarded to Instituto. It was Lima this time and it was the new keeper who came up huge stopping the penalty --I'm sorry I ever doubted you mate. This proved to be decisive as a nine-man Belgrano threw everything they had and found an unbelievable last-minute equalizer; Berza this time the hero. It was heroic stuff. It was Belgrano stuff. Under the conditions, this felt like a huge win. Well done guys!

Chacarita Juniors 1 - 2 Belgrano

Belgrano produced a gritty display to earn a hard fought victory against Chacarita Juniors and climbed to the fifth position in the league. Both teams were reduced to ten men during the first half and Chacarita suffered another blow when Precone also saw the red card early in the second half. In the 6th minute, Milla, who was later sent off, scored for Chacarita Juniors while Claudio Bustos grabbed the equalizer ten minutes later. The second half was all but predictable and both teams tried to gain the upper hand. The match seemed to turn Belgrano's way when Chacarita Juniors were reduced to nine but the home team kept pushing and went close several times. Belgrano seemed to run out of ideas and were happy to push the ball out of their own box. Belgrano got new legs with Mansanelli and Gigli but it was again the outstanding Matias Suarez who proved to be the decisive factor, scoring a phenomenal goal ten minutes from full time. Chacarita kept going at the Belgrano defense but were unable to find an equalizer. Had the equalizer arrived, it would have been fully deserved by Chacarita who showed more ambition during the match. Nevertheless, Belgrano held on to the win and secured three vital points that keep them among the title contenders.

Belgrano 2 - 0 Almirante Brown

Suarez celebrates his goal

Belgrano produced a fine display to earn the first victory of 2008 against Almirante Brown. The match was played at a capacity-crowd Gigante de Alberdi. If there were concerns in relation to the effectiveness of the new tactical display, they were all but wiped out after the first 20 minutes. At times Belgrano found the dynamism needed for this formation: quick distribution to both Aldecoa and Arriola on the wings, effective link-up with Casado and a lot of mobility from both Suarez and Bustos. All this was made possible by the efficient performance of the holding midfielders. The back line didn't have too many problems all afternoon, and after Suarez scored a screamer from outside the box Belgrano took control of the match. After Demus was sent off for the visitors, Bustos found himself on the end of a fine array of passes and beat Campestrini with a powerful shot. It was 2 - 0 at halftime. The second half was redundant. Belgrano could have doubled or even tripled their lead, although Almirante also had their chances. In the end, it was a deserved result for Belgrano. On the basis of this display, the promotion hopes remain intact.
