Instituto
Estudiantes
Estudiantes claimed a crucial 1-0 victory at Instituto despite being thoroughly outplayed for large portions of the match. The visitors absorbed sustained pressure from an Instituto side that dominated possession (58%) and created significantly more chances (17 shots to 4), but Brian Aguirre's spectacular right-footed strike from outside the box six minutes into the second half proved to be the decisive moment. Instituto's dominance in the statistics told the story of their frustration - they registered 63 dangerous attacks compared to Estudiantes' 36 and forced four saves from the visiting goalkeeper, yet failed to convert their territorial advantage into goals. The match turned increasingly fractious as Instituto desperately sought an equalizer, with nine yellow cards issued including several for dissent in the closing stages, but Estudiantes held firm to secure three vital points that could prove crucial in the title race.
