Gimnasia La Plata
Estudiantes de Río Cuarto
Gimnasia La Plata secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Estudiantes de Río Cuarto through Marcelo Torres' penalty conversion eight minutes before halftime. Despite being marginally outplayed in terms of possession (46% vs 54%), Gimnasia proved more clinical when it mattered most. The match was decided by a penalty awarded after Pedro Silva Torrejón was fouled in the box by Matías Valenti, with Torres making no mistake from the spot. Both sides created identical attacking statistics - 14 shots each, 4 on target, and 3 big chances - but Gimnasia's ability to capitalize on their key opportunity proved decisive. The second half saw extensive tactical changes from both managers, with 8 substitutions made, but neither side could alter the scoreline as Gimnasia held firm for three vital points.
