Belgrano and Barracas Central Draw 2-2 After Late Drama in Liga Profesional

Belgrano and Barracas Central played to a dramatic 2-2 draw in the Liga Profesional at the Julio César Villagra stadium in Córdoba. The match saw Belgrano surrender a two-goal lead in the closing moments of the game, leaving the home side frustrated after a dramatic conclusion.

The home side entered the fixture looking for a response following consecutive defeats in the Clausura tournament against Aldosivi and River Plate. Meanwhile, Barracas Central arrived in strong form under manager Damián Ayude, having won three of their previous five league matches and looking to extend their unbeaten run.

Belgrano took control of the match in the first half when striker Lucas Passerini finished off a strong team move to open the scoring at the 26th minute. Passerini struck again later with a clever maneuver to extend the advantage to 2-0, delighting the home supporters at the Gigante de Alberdi.

Barracas Central mounted a comeback in the second half. Midfielder Rolón cut the deficit with a well-struck volley that left the defense with no chance, narrowing the scoreline to 2-1 and breathing new life into the visitors' offensive efforts.

As the match approached its final whistle, the referee added an extra minute of stoppage time. In the game's ultimate play, a scramble involving Demartini and an own goal by Lisandro López resulted in the dramatic equalizer that shocked the home crowd and tied the score at 2-2.

Following the final whistle, tensions flared on the pitch. Belgrano players surrounded the officials to register their complaints about the timing of the equalizer, and forward Lucas Passerini voiced his extreme frustration over the outcome, stating that "they robbed us."

The draw leaves both teams searching for consistency in the Clausura Group B standings as the season progresses into its decisive final stretch. While Barracas Central extended their unbeaten streak to four matches, Belgrano was left to ponder another missed opportunity to secure crucial points at home.
