In a mid week match on Monday Apr 25th, in week 12, Defensa y Justicia will host Platense in a meeting of these two mismatched Superliga teams.

Josué Ayala struck first for Defensa y Justicia on an own goal in the 31st minute, then Julian Brea tied it up for Sarmiento in the 35th minute But luckily in the 46th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Yair Arismendi. Defensa y Justicia should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while platense is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Gimnasia La Plata. Cristian Tarragona struck first for Gimnasia La Plata in the 6th minute on a penalty shot, then R. Sosa Acosta added another in the 38th minute on a penalty In the end, Platense was frustrated by Gimnasia La Plata’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Gimnasia La Plata ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Defensa y Justicia won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Schor and Braian Mansilla are the top scorers for Platense in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Both Hugo Fernández and Miguel Merentiel have been the hottest scorers for Defensa y Justicia in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each.
