“Juan Villalba picked up an early yellow card for a foul, setting a combative tone for the match and hinting at the physical battle Estudiantes were prepared to engage in to contain Tigre's more technical side.”
“Moments after fresh legs were introduced by Estudiantes with the double substitution at 68 minutes, a corner kick was worked into the box and Sergio Ojeda met it to fire home the only goal of the match, stunning a Tigre side that had dominated the contest.”
Pivotal“Javier Ferreira was booked for a foul in the 77th minute as Tigre pressed desperately for an equaliser, compounding a frustrating second half for the visitors and underscoring the tension as time began to run out.”
“With Tigre unable to break through and the clock winding down, Matías Valenti was booked for time wasting — a telling image of Estudiantes' single-minded focus on protecting their slender lead.”

Outstanding performance
Estudiantes de Río Cuarto•DefenderEstudiantes de Río Cuarto pulled off a disciplined, against-the-run-of-play victory over Tigre, sitting deep and absorbing relentless pressure before capitalising on a 70th-minute corner to steal all three points. The stats tell the story starkly: Tigre enjoyed 62% possession, registered 18 shots to Estudiantes' eight, and dominated dangerous attacks 63 to 49 — yet created zero big chances and were ultimately undone by their own inability to convert pressure into clear openings. Estudiantes, by contrast, made their two big chances count, with Sergio Ojeda's header from a set piece proving the difference. For Tigre, this is a damaging result in what appears to be a tightly contested title race, with their failure to convert dominance into goals a deeply concerning pattern. Estudiantes, meanwhile, secured a victory that will feel enormous for their survival or promotion ambitions, built on a backs-to-the-wall defensive effort that yielded four crucial saves from their goalkeeper.
