Rosario (LLWDL)

Rosario Central lost 4-0 against River Plate in a one sided game. River Plate had complete control in the first half, finishing the first period with 69% possession and 15 attempts on goal to Rosario Central's zero on target. River Plate's superiority was rewarded when Solari scored in injury time, after an assist from Echeverri, the only goal of the first half. River Plate kept their intensity up in the second half, despite dropping some of their control of possession down to 56%. The goals kept coming, with Miguel Borja scoring twice — once in the 70th minute, set up by Martínez — and the goals kept coming. Martínez then put the seal on the victory with a 90+1' penalty and Solari netted again in the 72nd minute. While Rosario Central’s offense somewhat improved, they only had one shot on target during the match. River Plate, however, were the better side overall with 63% possession, 23 goal attempts and 10 shots on target, while Rosario Central failed to create a real threat, with just two shots in the game. River Plate's attacking efficiency and defensive bend were decisive for a commanding home win over a rocky Rosario Central. With this result, Rosario is in 22th place in the table with 29 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, with a record of 25 goals scored and 29 goals conceded.

Belgrano (WLLLW)

Belgrano and Estudiantes drew 2-2 in their last match. Belgrano got the better of it in the first half, with Jara scoring in the 18th minute to open the scoring, assisted by Delgado. Despite dominating early, Estudiantes equalised before half time, Meza following through in the 43rd minute, with a pass from Manyoma. The balance between the two teams was shown with four attempts on goal from Belgrano to Estudiantes' six and a slightly favourable possession for the home team of 51%. The effort from both teams had limited attack and defensive, as both had 2 shots on target. Estudiantes began better in the second half before turning the game around on the hour mark, when Ascacibar found the net from Carrillo's pass. But Belgrano didn't give up, and Reyna equalised in the 89th minute after a good pass from Rolon. In terms of possession, and shots on goal (3 vs 4), Estudiantes just about had a better share of the pie (53%) but clear cut chances were hard to come by for either side in this one. The match was extremely competitive, but given several fouls and interruptions. The whole game was a bit balanced between the two teams. More possession (52%) and more chances (10 attempts versus Belgrano 14) saw Estudiantes edge ahead but the home team were more defensively disciplined and hung on for the point they deserved. The match was good until the whistle, both sides had weakness offensively not only in finishing but also in the defense. With this result, Belgrano is in 14th place in the table with 35 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with a record of 32 goals scored and 30 goals conceded.
