Independent showed they had good control and attacking moves against Guarani but they had trouble actually scoring goals. Even though they took eleven shots they only got one goal which shows there’s still problems with their attack. Players like Matías Giménez and Santiago Montiel got to get better at finishing if they want to score more.
- Independent had eleven shots but only scored once against Guarani.
- Gastón Edul said the team wasn’t precise enough when trying to score.
- The forwards need to do better when it matters.
Independent’s Attacking Challenges
In their latest game against Guarani, Independent showed they can control the game and make chances. But they still can’t seem to turn those chances into goals which is a big problem. Gastón Edul tweeted that even though Independent keeps the ball a lot their forwards just aren’t accurate enough when shooting. This has been going on all year really.
Buen partido de Independiente. Tenía que ganar y lo hizo. Dominó a Guaraní todo el tiempo. Necesitó once tiros al arco para hacer su gol. Tiene que mejorar su efectividad, juega bien, domina, ataca pero le falta contundencia de los delanteros. Da la sensación de que perdonan a los rivales. Le pasó en todo su año. Necesita de ellos.

Players like Matías Giménez and Santiago Montiel are really important for making chances happen. Giménez has scored some big goals in the Copa Sudamericana and everyone knows Montiel is good with the ball but the team really needs these guys to start scoring more from the chances they get it’s definitely something they need to work on.
Performance Context in Argentine Primera División
Independent hasn’t been playing very consistent in the Argentine Primera División partly because they’re missing important players like Ávalos. Even though they’re one of the most successful teams in history they’re not doing so great in local competitions right now. Their game against Boston River showed how important it is to get points in Group A of the Copa Sudamericana.
