El Rojo has Yet to win since their debut, and Stillitano’s cycle nears its end in a match that featured one of the most unusual penalties in recent history.
Independiente appeared unable to break the losing streak that has haunted the coach since the promised victory on opening night. He faced a campaign that feels like an island in which the new leadership now confronts a heavy financial legacy, yet he assembled a squad far from the club’s proud history.
But no analysis starts without recalling the game that drew attention worldwide. Colón pressed hard, and Rodrigo Rey emerged as a central figure as the action stayed tied. Sabalero earned a corner, Chicco delivered the ball to Goltz, and the veteran goalkeeper caught the ball with his hand, assuming he should take the kick. After long deliberation, Lamolina signaled for a penalty and Giménez converted to make it 2-1.
Independiente could not close it out. They drifted defensively, and Barcia grabbed Wanchope’s shirt in the 53rd minute. Rey saved Ábila’s penalty, but the rebound fell to him, leaving it 2-2. The Reds could have lost it in stoppage time, but the goalkeeper produced a stunning save to deny Pierotti, who again drew whistles from the crowd.
Before the dramatic finish, there was another match where the home side started disperse after 12 minutes due to Pierotti’s brilliant goal. They recovered to claim Avellaneda’s first penalty of the night, converted by Cauteruccio. When momentum should have pushed them forward, the team failed to find a path through the defense.
Seven games without a win weigh on Stillitano, who faced the prospect of an end to his tenure with a club he supports but could not restore to its former glory.
