Sampaoli ended Talleres’ drought with a 4-0 win in Vicente López
La T cruised to a clear thrashing against Platense and picked up its first victory under Jorge Sampaoli. At the same time, the schedule is already beginning to overlap with the Copa Libertadores, where Talleres is keeping an eye on its next challenge.
Talleres, under Jorge Sampaoli, finally picked up its first win in the tournament, doing so with a commanding performance in Vicente López. The 4-0 against Platense did more than just change the mood: it also gave some breathing room back to a team that had been in urgent need of a response.
Sampaoli, born in Casilda, celebrated his first victory in the Primera División since taking charge of the Córdoba side. And he summed it up with a phrase that captures the moment the squad is going through: “Ganar genera tranquilidad”.
A win worth more than three points
Talleres arrived under pressure. It had not won since Sampaoli’s arrival and needed to end that run as soon as possible. The victory against Platense felt like a release, the kind that doesn’t fix everything but does allow you to breathe again.
The thrashing also carries special weight because the team had one eye on the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. In that context, adding a convincing win in the domestic league helps bring some order to the bigger picture.
- First win for Talleres in the Clausura.
- First win for Sampaoli in the Primera División with La T.
- 4-0 against Platense in Vicente López.
- A timely morale boost just before a stretch packed with the Libertadores.
For Talleres, the victory comes at the best possible time. It does not erase the doubts, but it does slow the anxiety. And for a team still searching for its most reliable version, winning like this could be the first step toward changing its story.
Sampaoli understood it quickly: in Argentine football, winning is not always enough, but when you are coming off a rough stretch, it changes the whole atmosphere.
