It was 1 to 0 against Vlez in Montevideo.
The game was very even in the first half, with the Pirate handling the ball more than the rival but without being able to hurt. At 25 minutes, Lenny Lobato pushed the ball under the goal to make it 1-0 for Fortn in the first clear of the match. Belgrano went and had some chanceslike a free kick from Ulises Sánchez that passed close, a shot from Passerini and something else; However, he did not manage to breach the rival goal.. Thus, the first half went with Quinteros’ team leading by the minimum.
Of In the second half, Farr’s team came out even more determined and had many goal situationsand even clearer ones, to try to tie: a header from Passerini cleared off the line, a shot off the post by González Metilli, a save from Marchiori against a good shot from Marín, and several more chances. But Belgrano was not fine in the definition and could not break the zero. With the Pirate playing in attack, Véléz also had some situations to expand, but Losada and the lack of definition kept the score until the end.
Thus, showing a better second half in terms of play generation and attack, Belgrano added his first football minutes of the year and continues his preparation for 2024.
The next Saturday the 20th, at 9:30 p.m., Celeste will visit Pearol in their stadium in a new preparation match for the 2024 Rio de la Plata Series.
