Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza edged Central Córdoba 1-0 at home in the Superliga, thanks to a second-half strike from Agustin Modica. The hosts controlled much of the game, enjoying 63% possession and firing 21 shots, but needed a moment of quality to break the deadlock.
Modica scored the only goal in the 66th minute, finishing from Luciano Cingolani's assist. Central Córdoba struggled to create clear chances despite a slightly higher expected goals figure (1.49 to 1.20), and Santiago Moyano was booked for the visitors in the 70th minute.
The standout figure was Modica for the decisive goal, but the stats painted a tale of control without domination: Gimnasia had seven shots on target to Central Córdoba's three, yet the away side's goalkeeper made six saves to keep it close. The hosts' persistence paid off in a tight encounter.
