Analysis The numbers behind the result
Aldosivi's shot volume overwhelms Banfield despite tight possession
Aldosivi's 3-1 victory was justified by their superior attacking output, despite sharing near-identical possession (51% vs 49%) and passing accuracy (200/300 vs 205/292). The hosts outshot Banfield 20-13, with nine on target to Banfield's three, forcing seven saves compared to just two required from their own keeper. Andres Vombergar's brace (42', 52') and Renzo Malanca's own goal (34') came amid sustained pressure, with Aldosivi registering 13 shots from outside the box alone.
The pivotal contrast was in shot locations: Aldosivi's eight corners to Banfield's four and their seven shots inside the box kept Banfield's defense under constant strain. Banfield's sole reply came via Matías Hernández's 51st-minute penalty, but they managed only five shots from outside the area all game. Vombergar's seven-shot contribution (two goals, one assist) epitomized Aldosivi's clinical edge. The defining stat? Aldosivi's 20 total shots — their highest in the Clausura — overwhelmed Banfield's defensive structure.
