Unión Santa Fe beat Gimnasia 2-3 after a hard fought game at home. Unión began in a spectacular way, as Rivero assisted Balboa to put his side in the lead, just 5 minutes after kick off. Gimnasia equalized before half time and, with De Blasis converting a penalty in the 45+3 minute, the game was level at half time. Gimnasia had the better of the possession in the first half, with 57% and Unión Santa Fe 43%. The two teams were very even in getting goals at hand, with 8 each, but Gimnasia only had 2 shots on target, while Unión had the same amount of shots on target, with a more precise attacking posture. Gimnasia made a better start to the second half and was determined to turn the game around in the 55th minute when Castillo pounced to put the home team 2-1 up. But Unión Santa Fe fought back and equalised in the 71st minute through a goal from Morales who scored after a good collective play. However, Unión had the better of their attacking attacks in the second half, with the visitors totalling 12 attempts on goal to Gimnasia's 5. Gimnasia also had only 1 shot on target, while Unión had 5. In the last moments, Unión Santa Fe showed their fighting spirit and in the 90+7th minute Domina scored the game winning goal for his team, making the score 2-3 and earning the three points for his team. With this result, Union Santa Fe is in 4th place in the table with 30 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins and 3 defeats, with a record of 21 goals scored and 18 goals conceded.
Newell’s Old Boys (DLWDW)
Newell's Old Boys come into this game after a 1-1 draw against Sarmiento Junin. Morales gave Sarmiento Junin the lead, 22nd minute, by converting a Gaitán assist. But Newell's Old Boys hit back shortly after and equalised in the 30th minute with a crisp shot from Silvetti after Miljevic's pass. Newell's were on top of possession for most of the first half, having 63% compared to Sarmiento's 37%. In set pieces, though, they were far more aggressive, winning eight free kicks and three corners, whereas Sarmiento only managed three free kicks and a corner. But it was a tight first half, with both sides limiting themselves to one shot on target and one attempt on goal. In the second half the attacking lacked focus of either side with no shots at goal or attempts on goal meaning the game was slowed and truncated. Again held firm in possession, Newell continued to thump it about for 55%, but they weren't turning it into clear chances. Sarmiento was more physical (14 fouls against 8) in terms of discipline, trying to stop Newell’s attack. However, both sides were clueless in attack during the match and although Newell's had much more of the ball and looked to push forward, the draw was deserved in the end. With this result, Newell's Old Boys is in 24th place in the table with 21 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, with a record of 13 goals scored and 22 goals conceded.
