“Saúl Salcedo turned the ball into his own net to hand Instituto a 1-0 lead, a cruel moment that punished Newell's despite their superiority in possession and chances created throughout the match.”
Pivotal“Ignacio Ramírez, introduced just moments earlier as a substitute, struck to equalise for Newell's at 1-1, rescuing a point for the home side and justifying the tactical change made by the stand-in coaching staff.”

Newell's Old Boys
Instituto
This was a match defined more by its dysfunction than its artistry. Newell's dominated the statistical landscape — 54% possession, 12 shots to Instituto's six, and 70 dangerous attacks — yet it was Instituto who went ahead, courtesy of Saúl Salcedo's unfortunate own goal on 61 minutes. The first half had descended into bedlam long before that, with Newell's coach Frank Kudelka receiving a second yellow card and being dismissed on 20 minutes following an argument on the touchline, leaving his side to navigate the remainder of the contest without their manager. Despite that disadvantage, Newell's continued to press and were rewarded when substitute Ignacio Ramírez, on the pitch for barely a minute, headed home to make it 1-1 on 80 minutes. The draw keeps Newell's in mid-table contention but the red card for Kudelka will loom large — a suspension for the coach could have significant consequences in the weeks ahead, particularly with both sides still chasing a push up the standings.
