Outstanding performance
Argentinos Juniors•AttackerAldosivi stunned the hosts inside nine minutes when Andres Vombergar capitalised on a Rodrigo Gonzalez assist to make it 1-0 against the run of expected play, and the visitors then dug in defensively for long stretches. Argentinos Juniors, who dominated territory and possession throughout (74% to 26%, 24 shots to 7), needed until first-half stoppage and a double half-time substitution to find their rhythm, and the response came via set-piece pressure - Alan Lescano levelling in the 54th minute moments after Gaston Veron's saved effort from a corner, before Veron himself struck in the 66th minute off another corner-driven sequence, assisted by fellow substitute Emiliano Viveros. Aldosivi's back line, aided by 31 tackles and four saves from their goalkeeper, made the hosts work hard for every chance, but the sheer weight of pressure - 82 dangerous attacks to 22 - eventually told. The win keeps Argentinos Juniors firmly in the title conversation given the stakes described pre-match, while Aldosivi will rue a missed opportunity to hold on despite a disciplined defensive shift undone by two late concessions.
