PivotalOutstanding performance

Belgrano dominated the ball with 63% possession and 474 passes but found the breakthrough elusive until deep into the second half, when Estudiantes de Río Cuarto stunned them with a Martín Garnerone strike moments after coming on as a substitute. The hosts responded quickly, with fellow substitute Lautaro Gutiérrez leveling things up just eight minutes later off an assist from Francisco González Metilli. Belgrano's persistence paid off in stoppage time as Lucas Passerini, who had been on the pitch since the 46th minute, snatched a dramatic winner assisted by Lucas Zelarrayán. Despite Estudiantes matching Belgrano shot for shot and even edging the big chances created, it was Belgrano's superior control and bench impact that ultimately proved decisive in a result that will boost their push up the table while leaving the visitors to rue a missed opportunity for an away upset.
How entertaining was this match?
Belgrano host bottom-of-the-table Estudiantes de Río Cuarto looking to snap out of a winless run at the Estadio Julio César Villagra. With Belgrano heavily favored on paper but out of form, and Estudiantes mired in a relegation-threatening slump, this one looks tight despite the gulf in the table.
