In the Torneo Federal A clash between Gimnasia y Esgrima CdU and Defensores de Belgrano VR, the hosts secured a narrow 2-1 victory. From the onset, Gimnasia y Esgrima capitalized on their attacking prowess, striking swiftly twice in the first half. The home side opened the scoring through an early goal at the 24th minute and doubled their lead barely five minutes later. The quick succession of goals indicated that Gimnasia’s offensive coordination and finishing were on point, exploiting the visitors' defensive frailties effectively.

Defensores de Belgrano VR managed to pull one back just before halftime, highlighting their resilience and keeping the match competitive. Despite their efforts in attack, their play was marred by indiscipline, as evidenced by their three yellow cards and excessive fouling, totaling 30 infringements compared to Gimnasia's 4. These disruptions in play not only stemmed the flow of the game but also illustrated their struggle in managing Gimnasia's pressure without resorting to fouling, which ultimately hindered their ability to establish constructive play.

A key factor that tilted the game significantly in favor of Gimnasia was their superior use of set-pieces and possession management. With five corner kicks, the home team had more opportunities to apply pressure from set-piece situations, whilst Defensores de Belgrano could only manage a single corner. Combined with their discipline in maintaining just one offside call against them, Gimnasia demonstrated better tactical discipline and cohesion to maintain control throughout the match. This composure under pressure allowed them to stave off the heavier fouling and stoppages induced by the away team, thus securing the vital three points.
