Estudiantes (DWLDD)

In a taut and even affair, Belgrano and Estudiantes drew 2-2 in their final match. Belgrano got the better of it in the first half, with Jara scoring in the 18th minute to open the scoring, assisted by Delgado. Despite dominating early, Estudiantes equalised before half time, Meza following through in the 43rd minute, with a pass from Manyoma. The balance between the two teams was shown with four attempts on goal from Belgrano to Estudiantes' six and a slightly favourable possession for the home team of 51%. The effort from both teams had limited attack and defensive, as both had 2 shots on target. Estudiantes began better in the second half before turning the game around on the hour mark, when Ascacibar found the net from Carrillo's pass. But Belgrano didn't give up, and Reyna equalised in the 89th minute after a good pass from Rolon. In terms of possession, and shots on goal (3 vs 4), Estudiantes just about had a better share of the pie (53%) but clear cut chances were hard to come by for either side in this one. The match was extremely competitive, but given several fouls and interruptions. The whole game was a bit balanced between the two teams. More possession (52%) and more chances (10 attempts versus Belgrano 14) saw Estudiantes edge ahead but the home team were more defensively disciplined and hung on for the point they deserved. The match was good until the whistle, both sides had weakness offensively not only in finishing but also in the defense. With this result, Estudiantes is in 13th place in the table with 35 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, with a record of 34 goals scored and 32 goals conceded.

Argentinos Jrs (WLLLW)

In a game in which statistical balance prevailed, Argentinos Juniors, 1-0 winners over San Lorenzo, had their winning goal in the 7th minute via an own goal by Romana. There wasn’t much to see in the first half, as Argentinos Jrs had 45% of the possession and only 3 shot attempts, of which one was on target. San Lorenzo enjoyed a slight advantage in possession (55%) and hit two shots, without putting on much pressure on the opposing goalkeeper. In the second half, however, San Lorenzo stepped the pace up and had 66% possession and 11 shot attempts, but failing to finish with just two attempts on target. Argentinos Jrs, meanwhile, stayed back and kept things tight and limited, getting one shot on target and four attempts on goal. Despite their superior numbers, the visiting side was unable to break down Argentinos Jrs' defensive organization and the narrow win was secured. However, the visitors deserved more than what they got, as they had more possession (59%) and shot attempts (14 vs 7), but a well positioned defense and poor offensive performance. However, the early advantage Argentinos Jrs took advantage of, and instead of playing on the front foot to win the game, they just pushed to try to keep their result. With this result, Argentinos Jrs is in 24th place in the table with 29 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins and 3 losses, with a record of 20 goals scored and 26 goals conceded.
