Barracas Central (WDLLW)

In a match in which the visitors' defensive solidity was the star and the home team's lack of precision, Barracas Central defeated Argentinos Jrs 1-0. Argentinos Jrs dominated the first half, with 62 per cent possession and 11 shots, five on target. But Barracas Central made most of their chance. Duarte, an assist by Tapia, scored the only goal of the game in the 42nd minute, when the visiting attack was proving to be effective in a first half dominated by the home side. Argentinos Jrs pressed in the second half and created 10 goal openings, but none were converted into goals. Coronel's expulsion in the 64th minute made the home team's task even harder, as Barracas Central retreated and tried to solidify their defence. The home team struggled to break through the opponent's defensive block, even with 56 per cent possession in the second half. Barracas Central, meanwhile, got on with the result, concerned with defensive solidity. Argentinos Jrs had 59% possession and 21 attempts on goal, but shot poorly and Barracas Central, who made five saves from the goalkeeper and blocked four shots, saw the visitors win. While having less possession (41%) and shots (9) Barracas Central was effective in its only clear opportunity, with a pragmatic and efficient game. With this result, Instituto is in 28th place in the table with 20 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with a record of 12 goals scored and 30 goals conceded.

Tigre (DWLLD)

In a match in which neither side had much in the way of effective offensive action, Tigre and Instituto played out a 0-0 draw. It was the balance of the first half, with Tigre dictating possession (52%) and creating more attacking chances (6 shots, two on target). However, neither team could produce any real threatening of the opponents' goal. Meanwhile, Instituto had a measly 3 attempts on target, with one of them on target. The departure of Maroni from Tigre in the 31st minute through injury, meant Sarmiento had to come on. Tigre played the second half on top but could not break down Instituto's organized defense. The home team had the better of possession, with 54% of the ball, and 7 attempts on goal, but lacked the accuracy. If anything, Instituto remained very compact, using very quick transitions, and only made 6 shots, of which only 1 was on target. Both teams’ coaches made a few changes to try and turn around the game, but there were no clear cut chances. In total, Tigre attempted more shots (13) than Instituto (9), and possessed overall (53%) more than Instituto (47%). The home team had the more initiative, but were generally unproductive when it counted, with only 3 shots on target. More withdrawn, Instituto proved to be defensive resilient, only mustering up 2 shots on target in the match. Both teams, in a tactically intense affair that lacked offensive spectacle, proved their defensive solidity through the number of clearances made, but there was little to get excited about in an affair. With this result, Tigre is in 17th place in the table with 30 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, with a record of 26 goals scored and 28 goals conceded.
