Miguel Marcelo Brizuela scored the first goal for Vélez Sarsfield in the 40th minute, then in the 66th minute, Leandro Maciel sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Martin Cauteruccio But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 89th minute on a goal by Juan Manuel Cuesta. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
