Defensa Y Justicia pulled off an upset, defeating Belgrano in Córdoba

The standout player

Damián Fernández was the star of the night, earning a rating of 9.2 that reflects his impact on the game. The forward scored a goal and contributed to the victory with an effective dribble, being key in the construction of Defensa Y Justicia's attack.

The first goal came early, in the 12th minute, when César Pérez assisted Fernández, who opened the scoring. This goal gave Defensa Y Justicia the confidence needed to manage the match.

An unexpected upset

Defensa Y Justicia, sitting in the tenth position, achieved a surprising victory against fifth-placed Belgrano Córdoba, with a final score of 2-1. Despite the home team dominating possession with 68%, they failed to translate that advantage into goals.

The second goal for Defensa came just at the start of the second half, when Damián Fernández scored again, putting Belgrano in a tough spot. Although Ramiro Hernandes pulled one back for the hosts in the 59th minute, it was not enough to turn the result around.

Dominance without reward

Belgrano Córdoba amassed 25 total shots, with 6 on target, but their dominance resulted in a match lacking clarity. The possession and shot difference did not reflect on the scoreboard, highlighting the local team's inefficiency.

Despite creating more opportunities, Belgrano could not capitalize, while Defensa Y Justicia, with less possession and fewer shots, was more efficient and took home the three points.

A balanced rivalry

This match was the 13th encounter between the two teams, leaving a balanced record: 4 wins for each side and 4 draws. The rivalry remains alive, and this result could have implications in the fight for qualification spots.

With this victory, Defensa Y Justicia moves closer to the qualification zone, while Belgrano will need to rethink their strategy to avoid losing ground in the table.
