Late in the match, Argentinos Juniors beat Newell’s 3-0 in La Paternal and broke the streak of five consecutive draws that occurred in the Professional League between Saturday and Sunday.
It was not easy to find a winner at the Diego Armando Maradona. The fact is that El Bicho, with Cristian Zermatten as interim for the second time, arrived with six games without a win (three draws). While Newell’s suffering streak consisted of eight (five draws).
But in line with these numbers, Rosario’s moment proved worse than Argentinos’. The home team was superior and won fairly thanks to goals from Alan Lescano and José Herrera (by two). Thus, El Bicho got back into the 2025 Sudamericana positions in the annual table. Newell’s, of course, is still far behind in both tables.
Earlier, Estudiantes and Platense added to their run of league draws with a 1-1 draw in La Plata. El Calamar quickly took the lead through Marco Pellegrino, who continues to be in good form and has now scored seven goals in the tournament. El Pincha equalised through captain Ascacíbar before the end of the first half.
Estudiantes thus reached five games without a win, although they have already qualified for the next Libertadores after winning the League Cup in the first half of the year. Platense, meanwhile, cannot afford to be careless with the averages, so they do not see the point won as a visitor as all that bad.
