Deportivo Riestra (DDDD)

Defensa y Justicia and Deportivo Riestra played 1-1. The home team started well, controlling 73% of possession, making 4 attempts on goal, one of which was on target, but without troubling the scorer. Deportivo Riestra meanwhile defended and capitalized on chances, 5 attempts and 1 on Target. The first 45 minutes saw both teams take some dangerous route, but the score remained unchanged. And the game grew more heated in the second half, with Deportivo Riestra opening the scoring in the 51st minute, Barrionuevo after Monje's assist. Defensa y Justicia were not going to lie down and play second fiddle, with 15 attempts at goal and 6 on target in this period. And injury time saw Cannavo equalise for the home team in the 90+2' minute after Herrera set him up. While more effective in their few attacking attempts, Deportivo Riestra decided to protect the result after their opening goal and found it difficult to respond to the speed with which their opponents played. Defensa y Justicia overall showed strong possession numbers (74%), as well as strong offensive volume, with 19 attempts on goal to Deportivo Riestra's 13, and 3 shots on goal to 7 shots on goal for the home team. To stay level the visitors' defensive solidity, 6 saves from the goalkeeper and 4 blocked shots were vital. Although they do not arrive with a victory, Defensa y Justicia built the play better than the visitors (Deportivo Riestra), and held them to effectiveness, especially in critical situations. With this result, Deportivo Riestra is in 12th place in the table with 32 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 5 draws, with a record of 24 goals scored and 24 goals conceded.

Banfield (LLDLW)

At home, Banfield were beaten 0-1 by Tigre who held a better possession and a better tactical organisation. Both halves were quite even, Banfield created more goal attempts (6 vs. 3), but couldn't quite find the precision to convert. In the 40th minute, Domínguez was sent off the pitch after protesting on the bench, something which didn’t affect the number of players on the field. But if anything, Tigre started to better control the game, with 66 percent possession in the first half. In the second half, Tigre kept more possession (58%) and took the cue to increase their attacking actions. Banfield had a man down after Aranda received a second yellow card in the 81st minute, and that proved to be the difference in the game. Shortly afterwards, Contín scored the winning goal in the 88th minute, converting a penalty after a period of greater pressure from the visiting team. In general, Tigre were more effective, even if they made fewer goal attempts (7 vs 14). Key to the three points was their ability to capitalize at a crucial moment and their significant possession (62%). But they could not take that aggression into goals and a late red card for Banfield complicated matters. With this result, Banfield is in 25th place in the table with 22 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, with a record of 20 goals scored and 29 goals conceded.
