Outstanding performance
Sarmiento•DefenderSarmiento secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Aldosivi in a match that was decided by key moments in both halves. The hosts took control just before the break when Cristian Zabala capitalized on a chaotic period that saw Aldosivi's Diego Churín receive his marching orders for a foul, leaving the visitors with ten men. Playing with the numerical advantage, Sarmiento managed the game well in the second half before sealing the victory through Junior Marabel's penalty conversion with four minutes remaining. The result continues Sarmiento's solid form and leaves Aldosivi struggling to find consistency, with their task made impossible once reduced to ten men in what became a damage limitation exercise.
