Gimnasia La Plata (DWWWD)

The match between the two teams of Tigre and Gimnasia La Plata ended 1-1, with both sides using different tactics. Gimnasia La Plata then started more aggressively and after just 7 minutes, Briasco put the team ahead after an assist from Rodríguez. This gave the visitors the lead in the match and put pressure on Tigre, who had to come back and look for the equalizing goal. Thus, Tigre was more possessive in the first half and tried to equalize with 6 attempts on the Gimnasia goal, although they had 8 attempts. However, the key factor of the match was the efficiency that Gimnasia showed in its 7 attempts, with only one shot being blocked by the Tigre defense. In the second half, Tigre appeared as a more offensive team and in the 49th minute, Galvan scored the equalizing goal with the help of a pass from Ortega. The tie makes the match even, but Tigre dominated the match with 57% possession and tried to take the lead four times while Gimnasia tried six times. But both teams failed to capitalize on the chances that arose in the match. The defenses of both teams were quite tight, although it must be mentioned that Gimnasia's attackers were quite active, stopping 3 shots and their goalkeeper made 8 saves during the match. While Tigre had slightly more possession throughout the match (61% vs. 39% for Gimnasia) and was also responsible for slightly more shots on goal overall (at least 10 compared to 14 for Gimnasia), the latter team was also responsible for more shots on goal. With this result, Gimnasia is in 11th place in the table with 21 points. In the last 5 league matches, the team has 3 wins and 2 draws, scoring 16 goals and conceding 14 goals. The team has not lost any of its last 5 league games.

Deportivo Riestra (WDWLW)

The match between Deportivo Riestra and Huracán was played and the final score was 1-0 in favor of the home team due to efficiency. The first half was relatively even as neither team was able to dominate the other. However, Huracán seemed to have most of the balls under control and ended the half with 63% possession. Nevertheless, the first half did not offer many shots on goal and Huracán seemed to have the advantage but could not convert their advantage into real scoring opportunities. For their part, Deportivo Riestra had problems keeping the ball and creating danger in the opposition half as despite their efforts they only managed 2 shots on goal throughout the match with most of the efforts coming in the second half. In the 71st minute, Herrera J. scored a penalty which turned out to be the only goal of the match after a penalty that was fatal for the final result. However, Huracán continued to increase the pressure and launched more attacks (11 attempts and 4 shots wide), but failed to score, missed, and even failed to capitalize on the opportunities it created. The second half was a similar story. Huracán dominated the game in terms of possession with 60%, but could not break through Riestra's well-drilled and compact defense. Deportivo Riestra, which had less than 40-50% possession than its opponent, was more accurate in its few chances. With this result, Riestra is in 8th place in the table with 22 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, scoring 15 goals and conceding 15 goals. The team has not lost any of the last 3 league games.
