Outstanding performance
Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza•MidfielderBoca Juniors rescued a crucial point at home against Gimnasia Mendoza in a dramatic first-half encounter that saw three goals scored before the break. The visitors stunned La Bombonera early when Luciano Paredes converted from close range following a corner kick, capitalizing on Boca's defensive vulnerability from set pieces. Miguel Merentiel pulled the hosts level with a clinical left-footed finish from inside the area, before Adam Bareiro completed what appeared to be a comeback with a towering header into the top corner from Lautaro Blanco's cross. However, the match data suggests Gimnasia managed to find an equalizer, leaving both teams to settle for a share of the points in what was a pulsating Liga Profesional encounter.
