Outstanding performance
Estudiantes•MidfielderEstudiantes delivered a composed away performance to claim a convincing 2-0 victory at Newell's Old Boys, with Tiago Palacios and Fabricio Pérez finding the net in the second half. The visitors weathered an early storm from the hosts, who were reduced to desperate substitutions after falling behind. Palacios broke the deadlock seven minutes into the second half with a well-taken finish from Adolfo Gaich's assist, before Pérez sealed the points with a precise strike from distance late on. This result continues Estudiantes' strong form and leaves Newell's searching for answers after a frustrating evening at home.
