Independiente secured a comprehensive 4-0 victory over 12 de Junio in the Intermedia Regular Season, round 25, on 20 September 2026. The away side dominated proceedings despite playing with less possession, converting their opportunities with ruthless efficiency. The hosts had controlled the ball for 65 per cent of the match but could not find the net once, while their opponents made the most of their chances.
The first half belonged to 12 de Junio in terms of territory and pressure, but they kept knocking on the door without finding the right key. Shots on target came five times for the hosts against six for the visitors, yet the scoreline remained stubbornly level. To be fair, Independiente defended well and waited for their moment to strike, not rushing into openings they did not need to create.
By then, the game had turned. D. Zarate opened the scoring in the 58th minute, breaking the deadlock after a period of sustained guest pressure. D. Dramane doubled the advantage in the 74th minute, and R. Roa added a third just four minutes later in the 78th. The hosts paid for a sloppy opening, unable to recover from the momentum shift that had slipped through their fingers.
A fourth goal arrived in the 90th minute plus two, sealing the result and leaving little for 12 de Junio to argue about. The visitors had hit a wall of resistance in the opening half but found the weak link when it mattered. And here's the thing — they did not need more possession to win; they needed to be sharper, and they were.
The statistics tell a story of dominance without delivery. 12 de Junio registered 81 attacks and 5 shots on target, while Independiente managed 73 attacks with 6 shots on target. The hosts had more corners and throw-ins, yet the visitors took their chances when they came. By then, the gap between territory and result was wider than the scoreline suggested.
In the table, 12 de Junio remain in third place with 48 points from 24 games, eight wins and four defeats. Independiente sit seventh with 34 points, their form improving after a run of draws and mixed results. The gap between them has not closed, but this match showed what the visitors are capable of when they play with purpose.
Our prediction had backed the hosts at 48 per cent confidence, but this time the match went the other way. The visitors did not travel to make up the numbers; they came to take something, and they did.
