1 – 2
“Marcelo Estigarribia heads home from close range after a corner, capping a build-up that started with a disallowed offside goal moments earlier, to put Unión Santa Fe 1-0 ahead.”
Pivotal“Independiente complete a stunning turnaround as Maximiliano Meza fires home the winner, assisted by Matías Abaldo, just five minutes after equalizing to take the lead for the first time.”

Outstanding performance
Independiente•AttackerUnión Santa Fe dominated the underlying numbers - 56% possession, 20 shots to Independiente's 8, and a staggering 56-25 edge in dangerous attacks - yet walked away with nothing to show for it. The match exploded in a three-goal burst between the 49th and 57th minutes: Estigarribia opened the scoring for Unión, only for Independiente to hit back twice within six minutes through Montiel and Meza to turn the game on its head. Independiente's clinical edge proved decisive, converting two of their scarce chances while Unión squandered a big chance and couldn't force a second equalizer despite relentless pressure and six corners to Independiente's one. For Unión, sitting deep in the table, this will sting as a missed opportunity given their control of the game; for Independiente, it's a gritty, backs-to-the-wall win that shows they can grind out results even when outplayed.

Kick-off! Referee：Luis Lobo Medina
Unión Santa Fe welcome an in-form Independiente to Estadio 15 de Abril with both sides chasing the pace-setters in Zone A. It's a mid-table battle with genuine top-half ambitions, and recent history favors the visitors after their Copa Argentina win over Unión earlier this year.
