Deportivo Riestra 2:0 Estudiantes de La Plata — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Milton Celiz and Antony Alonso scored as Deportivo Riestra beat Estudiantes de La Plata 2-0 in the Superliga. It was a smash-and-grab, pure and simple, and the home side will not care one jot about the how.

The game turned early, with a VAR check at nine minutes unsettling Estudiantes before Celiz struck on twelve. Alonso doubled the lead on 73, with Nicolas Watson providing the assist, capping a second half where Riestra, despite their limited share of the ball, looked the more dangerous side. Estudiantes huffed and puffed, collecting five yellow cards, but never truly threatened.

The numbers tell a tale of total dominance without reward: Estudiantes had 72% of the possession against Riestra's 28%, yet the hosts produced 1.80 xG to a paltry 0.21. Riestra were simply ruthless on the break. Antony Alonso was the standout, a 7.4 rating for his goal from midfield. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Estudiantes, and it was proven wrong; the live signals, however, backed Riestra at 1.29 and won handsomely.
