These results are understood only by heart. It doesn’t matter that they didn’t play very well, that they suffered too many losses, that there was too much indiscipline and that the position in the table indicates an erratic appearance. Little is known about the victory strategy and reasons in the classics, they are pure emotion. Who would think otherwise? The well-deserved victory of Club Atlético San Isidro Club against San Isidro Club by 36-25 in the Sanisidro Superclassic was a demonstration of the passion that unites the result with infinite joy. It was impossible to escape the rule of the senses. What does the opponent mean, for the shirt.

And there was one outstanding factor in that heat: the faithful fight.
Juan Torres Obe going on to score one of his two tries for CASI
Also it’s important to win in the classics, CASI didn’t hesitate for a minute to let SIC get a feel for the defensive strength ahead of them and the practicality of its pack to take it into the territory that best develops its game: action and intensity. From there he managed to gain territorial control and stay in fixed formations, especially the line and the scrum, for long periods of time. The latter was the big key to maintaining a fight that had no rifts. With a third line that was always reaching loose balls and a very alert Juan Torres with Obeid stealing everything he got from the visiting pack.
In this scenario, the Zanjero team was forced to leave their base and immerse themselves in a very uncomfortable battle. Without the ball, he had to resort to tackling in what appeared to be the danger zone, as the only option was to stop the barrage of packs and rearrange his play, which took up multiple offences. Furthermore, they were never able to convert possession of the ball into points and made several handling errors, which the visitors took advantage of. “It was a similar game but capitalized better by them. CASI was more accurate and scored every time he crossed the half field, We needed to be stronger in defence”, he analyzed the performance and appeared dissatisfied with the result, Marcos Piccini, ICS Capt.
With pure passion: This is how the classics are played
“We won it because we became very strong in fixed formations, we didn’t give away easy penalties and we were encouraged to play, a lot of people came from the sides”, Jeronimo Solvera told. Above all, in the first 30 minutes of the first half, he managed to score three times through Rocca Rivarola, Benjamin Belaga and Ignacio Nieto Sánchez to score the Zanjero in-goal and seal the result after receiving a simultaneous warning from Eugenio Sartori. Reversed. An effort by Juan Soares Gache. Stunned by the barrage of visitors SIC found little response at the end of the stage and managed to go into half time losing 22–14 with Machiavello’s effort converted by Pavlovsky.
The fighting and giggling didn’t stop in the second half. However, seeing physical degradation and the desperation of the locals to give away, CASI made the most of the power of their backs and managed to score twice through hooker Torres Obeid, who was a beast in attack and in play . The ground’s two Pavlovsky penalties and Marcos Piccinini’s final try that decorated the result at 36 to 25 were in vain.
Alejo Montes de Oca, CASI kicker, celebrates a deserved win, in which he contributed 11 points.
“Let’s hope that this win serves as a turning point for what is to come. It is an important motivation, but we have to claim it in the next game.”, Jeroen Solvera was honest, who did not hesitate to compare this success with the previous year when, with no chance of qualification, even the Academy celebrated in the ditch. “This should be the basis for what is left, it will not be good to defeat SIC and not fight to qualify for the playoffs,” closed the bench.
CASI wins compact in Boulogne
It has to be seen how much the academy takes advantage of this victory in future. Whether or not he achieves the primary objective of qualifying in the top four, something that has not been achieved for many years remains to be seen. It is true that only seven dates were in dispute and the road ahead is long. But beating SIC the way they did means a big boost for what’s to come and leaves them in an expected position in the standings. Something that in the end justifies the rapturous screams of the players and the endless joy of its people. Winning a classic is a result of emotion. And feelings are not discussed, they are lived.
