Racing Club (WWWW)

Racing beat Rosario Central 2-0 in the match. Both teams were cautious in the first half as Rosario had more possession (54%) and attempts on goal (5; 1 on target), but Chelsea had the only shot on target. On the other hand, Racing took advantage of the little they created but were unable to put it away. There was little excitement and the first half finished goalless. Racing played better in the second half, including a goal from Vietto after an assist from Adrian Martinez in the 48th minute to draw level. While less possession (down to 44%), Racing were more effective, making 10 attempts on goal and 6 on target. Rosario attempted to answer, although his attempts came up against the depth of the other defense and he only had 4 shots, none of which on target. Adrian Martinez added the second race in the 90+1 minute to extend the lead for Racing late in the game, with the result becoming 2-0. First and foremost, Rosario had more possession (55%) and never looked likely to score from 9 goal attempts, but did little with it. But racing were more pragmatic, with 14 attempts and 6 shots on target being more accurate at finishing. The away team were disciplined defensively too, blocking the opposition's moves and preventing Rosario from creating clear chances. Racing's stunning performance was also the victory, while Rosario came up short of expectations with more control of the ball. With this result, Racing Club is in 3rd place in the table with 43 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 5 wins, with a record of 36 goals scored and 22 goals conceded.

Estudiantes (LDDDD)

A thrilling match saw River Plate beat Estudiantes 2-1. River Plate were in command in the first half and took an early lead. Facundo Colidio scored the first for the home side in the 4th minute, receiving an assist from Matías Meza. Meza shone once again, with a few minutes later, in the 9th minute, extending the lead to 2-0 after a well worked team play. With more possession in the first half (55%), more attempts on goal (11) and not scoring, Estudiantes couldn't find the net. In the 29th minute, a goal was disallowed for a handball but it did little to placate the home team's fans. And in the second half Estudiantes were determined to turn things around and made it close early on. Carrillo then scored in the 46th minute off a Sosa assist to revive the team's hopes. Carrillo had the opportunity to equalise from a penalty in the 66th minute but spurned it. With 62 per cent possession and an impressive 16 attempts on goal during the second half, Estudiantes should have been able to overturn River Plate's wall of a defense. Estudiantes, overall, had 27 attempts on goal while River Plate only had 8. But it was vital the visiting team was efficient, with 4 shots on target creating both goals. The home side failed to capitalise on their statistical superiority, and River Plate left La Plata with all three points. With this result, Estudiantes is in 17th place in the table with 31 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 4 draws and 1 loss, with a record of 27 goals scored and 26 goals conceded.
