Newell’s Old Boys returned to the top of the Torneo Binance table with a hard-fought home win over Argentinos Juniors on Monday night.
The impeccable Willer Ditta set the tone for the performance early on after he got on the end of a Gustavo Velázquez header to fire Newell’s in front after just 6 minutes.
Manager Javier Sanguinetti changed to a 5-man defence for this game, bringing in Facundo Mansilla to partner Ditta & Velázquez, and it worked to perfection with Newell’s nullifying the threat of a strong Argentinos side.
Ramiro Macagno was once again outstanding in goal and the victory gave the home fans something to sing about with Newell’s now having won 10 points from 12 after four games of the new season.
