Outstanding performance
Gimnasia La Plata•MidfielderGimnasia La Plata secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Sarmiento with Franco Torres' stunning 90th-minute winner from outside the box. The visitors dominated possession (56% to 44%) and created more chances (17 shots to 11), with Agustín Auzmendi's first-half header from a corner giving them the lead. Pablo Magnín's close-range equalizer just after halftime looked to have earned Sarmiento a point, but Torres' late strike punished the hosts' inability to capitalize on their 50 dangerous attacks. The victory lifts Gimnasia's momentum in what appears to be a crucial phase of the Liga Profesional campaign, while Sarmiento's defensive frailties from set pieces and late concentration lapses continue to cost them vital points.
