Outstanding performance
Talleres Córdoba•DefenderAlexandro Maidana's double proved the difference as Talleres Córdoba secured a crucial 2-1 victory away to Defensa y Justicia in a match where territory didn't translate to points. The visitors struck twice in the first 61 minutes through Maidana's clinical finishing, before weathering a late storm that included Ayrton Portillo's 79th-minute set-piece goal. Despite Defensa y Justicia dominating possession (52%) and outshooting their opponents 17-8, Talleres demonstrated superior efficiency in front of goal, capitalizing on their limited chances while their goalkeeper made five crucial saves to preserve the three points.
