Analysis The numbers behind the result
Aldosivi defy possession deficit with clinical edge
Aldosivi's 1-0 win over Belgrano Cordoba slightly flattered the hosts, who were outperformed on expected goals (0.99 vs 1.33) but capitalised on their best chance through Andres Vombergar's 20th-minute strike, assisted by Nicolás Cordero. Belgrano dominated possession (64%) and crafted more quality (9 shots inside the box to Aldosivi's 12, but with higher xG per attempt), yet found Aldosivi goalkeeper Lucas Acosta in inspired form with 5 saves.
Despite Belgrano's territorial dominance (485 total passes to 263) and superior set-piece volume (9 corners to 3), Aldosivi's compact 4-4-2 limited clear-cut chances – Belgrano managed just 5 shots on target despite 15 total attempts. The hosts' defensive discipline (18 fouls, 1 yellow) disrupted Belgrano's rhythm, while Vombergar's early goal – one of only 5 Aldosivi shots on target – proved the difference. The key stat: Belgrano underperformed their xG by 1.33 goals, failing to convert dominance into end product.
