9 de Julio de Rafaela brought a good point from San Francisco, by tying 1 to 1 with Sportivo Belgrano, for date 11 of Zone C of the Federal A Tournament. The goals were scored at 46 by Ricardo Tapia and at 58 by Fernando Nuñez. The 9 de Julio goalkeeper had to be replaced before the complement began.
The positive streak of 9 de Julio extends: of the last 15 points, it managed to get 11. And in this way, not only did it reverse the fact of having lost three in a row, but now it was left with the possibility of reaching the top of the tournament, if they beat Defensores de Villa Ramallo next week at home (and if Bart, El Linqueño does not score points against Douglas, because Las Parejas is free).
The tie suits the game well. The thing is that both had little volume of play and in total, there were very few risky plays for the opposing goal.
In general terms, the 9 was the one who had the ball, while the local team was the one waiting to go against it. Although, there were moments in the second half, where it was exactly the other way around.
Peralta and Bianciotti made things difficult in the first moments, where León had the ball. At the end of the first half, the local team got closer to the Julian goal: first, Camilo Alesandria, with a header, then Gomez saved after saving Máximo Forlín and finally, the goal arrived. It was at 46, when the first part died. With an attack, Ricardo Tapia opened the scoring.

In that play, Joaquín Gomez was injured and was replaced by Franco Fragueda, making his debut in the Julian goal. And he did it well, since he only had one play and responded correctly, by holding back a header from Ricardo Tapia.

At 13, Fernando Nuñez had his well-deserved reward for the last games: in the second play, he got the tie. From there, there were almost no scoring plays and the 9 took advantage of how the clock hands were running in their favor.
Good point and expect a key game, against the leader.
