Instituto (LDLLL)

Instituto then comes into this game having been badly beaten 4-1 away to Lanús. Actually, the Córdoba side started extremely well before falling behind to Lanús' attacking pressure soon after, as Luna put them in front in the 18th minute. While they held 45% of possession and 5 shots on target, it was defensively naive as they conceded 27 total shots (10 on target) and 2.18 xG. They were completely outplayed in the second half. Institute were fluid at times, showed moments of passing but, defensively and in terms of game management, proved costly.

San Martin San Juan (WLLWL)

As for San Martín S.J., that team also stamps of a disappointing encounter, as it fell 0-2 against Platense at home. While they did enjoy the bulk of possession (63%) and more shots (12 to 15), the conceded effort too was put to waste. They managed an xG of 1.36, which means that there were a tremendous amount of chances created. However, they failed to capitalize on them. Both goals were in the first half so the damage had been done early and, truth be told the team never came back. In the second half they pushed forward but their transitional defending was exposed and they will have to address that against Instituto.
