Platense saw off Incaruba 2:0 in the fourth round of the Apertura stage of the Primera División. The home side took control early and held firm through the second half. Two goals separated the sides, with both coming from the hosts.
F. Pena opened the scoring in the twenty-eighth minute, giving Platense the lead they would not relinquish. The goal shifted the momentum toward the home end, and Incaruba struggled to find their rhythm. By then the visitors had already missed their chance to settle into the game. Platense held on to that advantage for the remainder of the first half.
N. Bello doubled the advantage in the seventieth minute, closing the door on any comeback. The away side had won just two of their nine league matches before this fixture, and the defeat left them further adrift. The visitors never really threatened to find a way back into it.
The statistics tell their own story. Platense registered six shots on target compared to Incaruba's single attempt, and they created more attacks overall. Possession sat at 56 percent for the hosts, though the decisive factor was clinical finishing rather than dominance.
The result moves Platense closer to the upper half of the table, where they currently sit sixth with twelve points. Incaruba remain in tenth place on eight points after nine games, with five defeats already on their record. The gap between the sides widened by three points on Saturday night.
