Defensa y Justicia played against Independiente Rivadavia and lost the match with a score of 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored in the 7th minute by Romero by the penalty kick of his team. Defensa y Justicia had a slow first half of the match and failed to stop a goal from being scored. However, they tried to respond actively, but they were not very productive in the sense of scoring goals in the first half. In the first half, Defensa y Justicia had the ball in their possession slightly more than the rivals by 55% and attempted to control the game practicing 9 attempts at the gates. However, they were unable to match their inaccuracy with penetration as they were only able to muster two shots on target. Furthermore, the statistics indicate that the team also had some blocked shots while Rivadavia played well in defense and capitalized on the few occasions they had to net goals for the lead on the score board. In the second half, Defensa y Justicia maintained the same level of performance, controlling 67% of ball possession. They were able to make 6 goal attempts but none of the attempts were able to make it into the goal with only 1 shot on target. The opportunities were missed again, as 4 shots were placed wide and 1 was saved by a block. Lack of goal scoring was a major area of concern for the away team despite taking control of play and creating opportunities to turn the game. The team that Rivadavia commanded exhibited a remarkable teamwork and would cling to the 3 points. With this result, Defensa y Justicia is in 26th place in the table with 11 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins and 3 losses, with a record of 10 goals scored and 22 goals conceded.

San Lorenzo played with Vélez Sarsfield in a tense match and the match finished with the score 1-0 to the visitors. The lone goal of the match was scored by the player Braian Romero in the 4th minute of the game by converting an assist from Gómez placing Vélez in front. Even though the club had more possession of the ball, they were not able to create any big goal scoring opportunities for most of the match. In the first half of the first half, San Lorenzo dominated with 58% possession, but managed no shots on goal. Vélez were, however, more effective in this area as in passing, they were able to produce three clear chances, and in shooting, one went into the back of the net thus sealing the game’s winner. The match was characterized by tackling challenges in midfield, with several fouls being perpetrated, and a slow and unrhythmic play. In the second half San Lorenzo came out and applied more pressure thus achieving 60 percent of the game possession but they never produced that into real shots on goal. The team was unable to have a single shot on target and still failed every time to get past Vélez's defense line. On the other hand, Vélez concentrated on defending their lead and played somewhat conservatively to avoid losing the advantage in the result. With this result, San Lorenzo is in 24th place in the table with 13 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins and 3 losses, with a record of 11 goals scored and 13 goals conceded.

In the last 5 games between these 2 teams, Defensa y Justicia has won 2, San Lorenzo has won 1, and they drew another 2. Goals were scored in all of those 3 games, but with both teams scoring in none of those matches.

Defensa y Justicia won their last 2 matches, and they are expected to remain unbeatable at home.
