Outstanding performance
Newell's Old Boys•GoalkeeperNewell's Old Boys looked set to claim all three points after Facundo Guch's 23rd-minute free-kick gave them an early advantage in a fractious encounter at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa. The opening goal came directly from a well-worked set piece after Platense's Ignacio Vázquez was cautioned for a foul in a dangerous area. However, Platense showed tremendous resilience in the second half, with substitute Augusto Lotti proving to be the decisive impact player, equalizing just two minutes after his introduction with a perfectly placed right-footed effort into the top corner. The match was characterized by its physical intensity, with seven yellow cards distributed across both teams, reflecting the high stakes and competitive nature of this Liga Profesional fixture.
