Gonzalo Bergessio scored the first goal for Platense in the 51st minute from the penalty spot, then Rodrigo Contreras added another in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a feed from Facundo Russo At the end of 90 a dissapointed Sarmiento couldn’t manage to score, and Platense took the shutout win. Sarmiento is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Unión Santa Fe recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Atlético Tucumán. Jonatan Álvez struck first for Unión Santa Fe in the 55th minute on a feed from Daniel Juárez, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Atlético Tucumán was frustrated by Unión Santa Fe’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Unión Santa Fe ended the match with the shutout victory. Unión Santa Fe is looking for direction having 2 win and 0 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Unión Santa Fe won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Gonzalez and Juan Manuel García are the top scorers for Unión Santa Fe in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Sarmiento is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Torres and Lisandro López each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
