Gimnasia L.P. edge Aldosivi with clinical finishing in balanced tie

Key moments came from Agustín Auzmendi's 40th minute opener (assisted by Pedro Silva Torrejon) and Alex Colazo's 66th minute winner (assisted by Alexis Steimbach), with Nicolás Gaitan's 78th minute consolation proving insufficient despite Aldosivi's higher volume of total shots (18 vs 11).
