Instituto Córdoba beat Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza 1-0 in the Superliga, with the only goal arriving from Alex Luna in the 80th minute. The home side dominated the numbers but made hard work of it, needing a late strike to settle a match they controlled.
Luna converted a Jeremías Lázaro assist to make it 1-0, breaking a goalless contest shortly after the 74th minute booking of Germán Guiffrey. The game was played at a scrappy tempo, with nine yellow cards handed out, including one to Lázaro in stoppage time, but no red card.
Instituto registered 15 shots, seven on target and an expected-goals figure of 2.28, while Gimnasia managed only five attempts and 0.30 xG. Despite that dominance, the visitors' goalkeeper made six saves and the game stayed level until Luna's late intervention.
