Gabriel Heinze suffered a first defeat as Newell’s manager away to Defensa y Justicia on Saturday evening.
In dangerously warm conditions, Newell’s fell behind to a magnificent 27th minute free-kick from Kevin Gutiérrez. They tried gallantly to get back into the game but couldn’t force a breakthrough. Ex-Newell’s keeper Ezequiel Unsain had a fine game in goal for Defensa y Justicia while Lucas Hoyos had to be at his best at the other end to keep the home side to a single goal.
