Ind. Rivadavia (DDWLD)

Independiente Rivadavia and Rosario finished the game 1-1. Ramis put Independiente Rivadavia ahead after just 3 minutes, taking advantage of a Villa cross. But Rosario was quick, with Quintana levelling in the 12th minute, finishing from Malcorra's move. Independiente Rivadavia had more possession (56 per cent) and more chances in the first half, totaling 10 attempts on goal to Rosario's two. The statistics were favourable but Independiente were unable to widen their lead, while Rosario were efficient in one of the few chances they had. In the second half Independiente kept pressing and more than matched Rosario's six attempts on goal (nine to six), dominating possession (52 per cent to 48 per cent). But the home side were unable to find a way past the defence, with only two shots on target. The home side's threats were kept out by a solid Rosario defence and the goalkeeper confidently. Rosario also spurned their chances, but were not precise in the final third of the pitch. Independiente had 19 attempts on goal all game, but just six were on target, and Rosario had three on target from eight, while Independiente had more shots on target. Quite a few fouls were committed by Independiente, 12, and Rosario, 13. To be short, Independiente's statistical dominance should have resulted in a different outcome, but that's Rosario, efficient and resolute, able to respond to the opening goal and withstand the opposition's pressure to get a point on the road. With this result, Independiente Rivadavia is in 21th place in the table with 25 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 loss, with a record of 14 goals scored and 21 goals conceded.
