Argentinos Juniors snatched a dramatic 3-2 victory at Sarmiento, coming from behind twice before grabbing a stoppage‑time winner. The visitors had more of the ball and created the better chances, but had to fight until the final whistle.
Sarmiento took the lead through Junior Marabel in the 30th minute, but Alan Lescano equalised just after the break. Sebastián Prieto put Argentinos ahead in the 58th minute, only for Renzo Orihuela to level again at 2‑2. The decisive goal arrived in the 90th minute, a blow for the hosts who also saw Diego Porcel sent off for a second yellow card.
The stats reflected Argentinos’ edge: 55% possession, 13 total shots (five on target) and an expected goals figure of 1.37, while Sarmiento managed 10 shots and 1.23 xG. Despite the late drama, the away side’s control of the game was clear.
