The Reserve League match between Instituto AC Cordoba Reserves and CA Platense Buenos Aires Reserves unfolded as a tactical battle that leaned slightly in favor of the visitors. Instituto opened the scoring in the 36th minute, showcasing early offensive intent. Despite having this early advantage, Instituto could not sustain their lead, as Platense adapted well and found equal stability. Although Instituto tried to capitalize on their initial momentum, Platense maintained composure, eventually equalizing in the second half.

A significant factor impacting the match outcome was Platense's efficiency and persistence, demonstrated through their slightly higher number of corner kicks (7 compared to Instituto's 6), which indicated better sustained pressure in the attacking third. The reliance on set pieces eventually played into Platense’s hands as they gradually chipped away at Instituto's defense, culminating in the decisive goal in the 89th minute. Statistically, both teams exhibited a disciplined defensive line with only one offside recorded each, revealing solid organizational structure and timing in attack.

The discipline between the teams deviated, as indicated by Platense's two yellow cards, one in each half, highlighting their increased physicality and perhaps desperation to break down Instituto’s play. Although this didn't result in a numerical disadvantage, it reflected Platense’s tactical approach to disrupt Instituto’s rhythm physically. Instituto’s clean disciplinary record with no bookings showcased their relatively milder approach, which, while commendable, may not have been assertive enough to counter Platense’s pressing game, ultimately influencing the match flow and result.
