Match report
Platense and Maraton shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the Apertura-2 fixture on August 8th. The hosts had the better of the opening exchanges before a red card altered everything, and here's the thing — it wasn't the kind of match you'd call a spectacle.
J. Fernandez was dismissed in the 37th minute, and by then Platense had already seen their momentum shift. The visitors played the second half a man up, though they couldn't convert that advantage into a win.
N. Messiniti reached for his pocket after the break to open the scoring in the 44th minute, only for C. Gutierrez to level matters on the stroke of half-time in the 45+1 minute. Two goals, one for each side, and neither team could find a winner.
Three substitutions were made across the match, with Y. Mejia and Felipe Pacheco coming on together at the interval. G. Welcome followed in the 66th minute, and then N. Messiniti was replaced by J. Palacios in the 74th minute — though the data shows this as the 76th.
Maraton dominated possessions with 55 per cent to Platense's 45, and registered 91 attacks against 80. The visitors also had more corners — 12 to 5 — yet shots on target were fairly even at 7 and 8 respectively. Many shots with one goal means chances went begging from both camps.
The result leaves Maraton in second place with 14 points from six games, while Platense sits tenth with four points. The hosts have now lost four of their last six matches and played the second half a man down against a side that had hit a wall in front of goal.
