Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza Reserves beat Barracas Central Reserves 2-0. The hosts opened the scoring at 00:44:30 of the first half and sealed the win with a second-half strike at 01:24:36.

Barracas Central Reserves registered a higher volume of attacking set-pieces, recording 8 corner kicks to 3 for Gimnasia. Nevertheless, no goals arrived from those chances, and Gimnasia’s rearguard dealt with the deliveries effectively.

Barracas also tested discipline with four offsides in attack, indicating persistent forward runs that were judged offside. Gimnasia, by contrast, had zero offsides, suggesting tighter line discipline in their forward movements.

Fouls were closely matched (Gimnasia 12, Barracas 10) and both teams collected three yellow cards, with the carding concentrated in the second half. No red cards were shown, allowing a stable tempo after the break.

From a tactical perspective, Gimnasia’s defense kept a clean sheet while offering a compact block that absorbed Barracas’ pressure after taking the lead. Barracas’ heavier reliance on corners implies a crossing-oriented approach aimed at testing the goalkeeper and defenders rather than through-ball breakthroughs.

Overall, off-ball teamwork and defensive organization were decisive; Gimnasia benefited from decisive moments in front of goal while limiting direct threats in open play. Barracas’ set-piece volume did not translate into goals, underscoring the importance of finishing quality and effective marking under pressure.
