Unión Santa Fe
Newell's Old Boys
Outstanding performance
Unión Santa Fe•AttackerNewell's Old Boys pulled off a remarkable smash-and-grab victory at Unión Santa Fe despite being utterly dominated throughout. The visitors absorbed constant pressure, managing just 27% possession and 5 shots compared to Santa Fe's 28, yet showed clinical finishing when opportunities arose. Jeronimo Russo's 38th-minute strike and Ignacio Ramírez's 76th-minute goal proved decisive, even as Santa Fe controlled the tempo with 98 dangerous attacks. Lucas Menossi's late consolation goal set up a frantic finish, but Newell's held firm for three precious points that could prove vital in their season ambitions.
