Gimnasia Y Esgrima La Plata 1:0 River Plate — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Alexis Steimbach's 80th-minute header proved decisive as Gimnasia y Esgrima beat River Plate 1-0, with the defender's goal setting up a trip to Aldosivi in their next Superliga fixture. On an afternoon where the visitors dominated the ball, Gimnasia found a way to win through sheer persistence and a single moment of quality.

The match lacked clear chances until the final quarter, with River Plate's Lucas Silva and Nicolás Otamendi both booked for cynical fouls as frustration grew. The turning point arrived in the 80th minute when Maximiliano Zalazar swung in a cross from the left and Alexis Steimbach rose highest to head home, sparking wild celebrations. Zalazar was himself booked late on for time-wasting as Gimnasia saw out a nervy finish.

Despite enjoying 74% possession and winning seven corners to Gimnasia's three, River Plate created only 0.30 xG compared to the hosts' 1.94, and managed just five shots in the second half against nine from the home side — Gimnasia were outplayed in possession but far more dangerous in the final third. Defender Alexis Steimbach was the standout with a 7.8 rating and the game's only goal. Gimnasia now face Aldosivi on 2 August.
