Outstanding performance
Banfield•GoalkeeperAtlético Tucumán were the dominant side for large stretches, controlling possession at 53%, generating 15 shots to Banfield's 10, and creating three big chances compared to the visitors' two. They went ahead in the 55th minute through Franco Nicola's close-range header from a free-kick delivery, and looked well-placed to hold on — their defensive shape was solid and Banfield offered little in attack, forcing Tucumán keeper to make just one save all match. However, a flurry of second-half substitutions shifted the momentum, and Banfield's own changes proved the difference: Neyder Moreno, brought on in the 70th minute, tested Luis Ingolotti with a shot saved into the top left corner in the 88th before poking home from close range a minute later off Ignacio Abraham's cross. The equaliser felt against the run of play given the statistics, and Atlético Tucumán will feel they let two points slip away at home — a frustrating outcome for a side sitting mid-table and in need of wins to climb the standings.
