Newells Old Boys (Reserves) edged CA Platense Buenos Aires (Reserves) 2-1 in the Reserve League. Platense struck first with a 33:35 goal, taking a 0-1 lead, before Newells levelled at 43:40 to 1-1. The decisive moment came early in the second half when Newells netted again at 58:04 to make it 2-1.

Platense produced a higher corner count with 5 set-pieces to Newells’ 3, indicating sustained pressure after the break. Newells’ quick equaliser before the break demonstrates their capacity to reset the game tempo in response to pressure. The foul tally—Newells 12 to Platense 7—points to a more aggressive approach from the home side in the second period, aiming to win second balls and drive forward.

Both teams avoided red cards, with a single yellow card issued to each side in the second half. The late bookings at 01:27:30 for the away side and 01:30:04 for the home side suggest a highly contested finish without losing discipline. Offsides were tied at 1-1, implying similar lines of play and attempts to time runs in behind defenses.

The data indicate that Newells’ ability to respond to the opener and convert a second-half chance were the most significant factors in the result, rather than set-piece output. Platense’s greater corner volume did not translate into a second goal, highlighting finishing efficiency or defensive resilience as decisive in the final outcome. Defensively, Newells absorbed initial pressure and then tightened up, enabling them to protect the lead after the turnaround.
