CA Belgrano 0:1 Argentinos Jrs — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Francisco Álvarez's 45th-minute strike settled a fractious Superliga encounter as Argentinos Juniors beat Belgrano 1-0, a result that owed much to the defender's composure and the hosts' indiscipline. The away side's win was built on a second-half dominance that Belgrano, reduced to ten men, could not counter.

The match turned on a costly spell for Belgrano, with Franco Vázquez booked in the 27th minute and then sent off in the 39th after a VAR review. From the resulting pressure, Gabriel Florentín teed up Álvarez to score on the stroke of half-time, and though Tomás Molina was cautioned for the visitors after the break, Argentinos Juniors controlled the remainder with ease.

The statistics tell a clear story: Argentinos Juniors held 65% possession against Belgrano's 35%, and their expected goals of 1.21 dwarfed the hosts' 0.64, with the away side creating far more after the interval. Álvarez, a defender, was the standout with a rating of 8.3 for his decisive goal. CheckLive's model rated Belgrano marginally ahead, but the result did not confirm it, as the visitors proved the stronger side on the night.
