Chaco For Ever surprised and after equalizing 0-0 in the regulation 90 minutes, he eliminated Arsenal de Sarandí in an exciting penalty shootout (5-4) for the 32nd of the Argentine Cup in which his goalkeeper, Joaquín Mattalia, was the hero by containing three shots. The match was played at the Estadio 15 de Abril in Santa Fe, and the Primera Nacional team will play in the 16th finals with the winner of Talleres de Córdoba-Atlético Güemes de Santiago del Estero, who will face off this Wednesday in Salta.

The Viaducto team, champion in the 2012/2013 edition of this competition, faced the chaqueños, who knew how to be in the First Division in the 1989/1990 season, and who are undefeated in the second category six points behind the leader, Belgrano de Córdoba, who will face on the next date. That's why coach Daniel Cravero booked the starters and played this match with most of the substitutes.

It was a very even meeting in which the differences in categories were not seen. Arsenal first warned with a cross from the right that Christian Chimino sent and that Mattalia diverted, who began to become the figure of his team. Then the chaqueños responded with a left-handed shot by Leandro Allende that deviated in a defender. And before the first half ends, Arsenal responded, Facundo Kruspzk shot from outside the box and held back the goalkeeper.

In most of the complement both had few possibilities to open the scoreboard and it was only in the epilogue, when fatigue emerged and legs began to be missing, the Chaco team took refuge behind and allowed those led by Leonardo Madelón to have some chances through Sebastián Lomónaco, although the striker was unable to resolve effectively.

In a very even match that ended evenly in the 90 minutes, the definition came from the penalty spot, for the first time in this edition of the Argentine Cup and there Chaco For Ever was more effective in converting five of his seven shots. In the defining instance, Mattalia saved three penalties, Dardo Miloc, Christian Chimino and Braian Rivero, who wanted to imitate Pulga Rodríguez and after a long walk and a slight jump the ball ended up in the hands of the Chaco goalkeeper.

The promotion cast struck the blow and will continue in the tournament with the spirit of having left a First Division team on the road. In the meantime he will have an important stop in the First National before the tournament leader.
