In an evenly-contested Reserve League match, CSD Defensa y Justicia and Racing Club Avellaneda both showed flashes of brilliance and shortcomings that eventually led to a deserved 2-2 draw. Racing Club took the early lead with a goal at 17:40, capitalizing on a defensive lapse, which set the tone for an aggressive first half. Nonetheless, Defensa y Justicia clawed back with a swift equalizer only ten minutes later, showcasing a resilient attacking spirit. Their persistence paid off just before the half-time whistle when they scored again at 43:43 to take the lead, reflecting effective teamwork in their offensive unit.

Despite being the away side, Racing Club Avellaneda displayed superiority in set pieces with eight corner kicks compared to the home team's three. However, their inability to convert these opportunities into goals denotes a missed tactical opportunity. The decisive factor, though, was Racing's tenacity in the second half, epitomized by their equalizing goal at 68:38, which underscored their continued pressure and ability to exploit gaps in Defensa's defense.

The game, rife with disciplinary issues, saw an unprecedented number of yellow cards, four for each side, all in the second half. This contributed significantly to a more fractured gameplay, as fouls became more frequent, evident from Defensa's 13 fouls compared to Racing's relatively disciplined five. The propensity for fouls hindered flow and rhythm, impacting both teams' ability to create further clear-cut chances. Ultimately, this intense, combative affair reflects the depth and talent present in both squads, though it underlines the need for both teams to maintain composure under pressure to achieve victories in closely-fought matches.
