Argentino Monte Maíz — Juventud Antoniana: 1:0, Torneo Federal A

Argentino Monte-Myers took all three points against Juventud Antoniana in the Torneo Federal A, Winners Stage - 6, on Saturday 30 August. The home side won 1-0 thanks to a second-minute goal after the visitors lost a man. It was a narrow victory that extended Argentino's unbeaten run to four matches.

The turning point came at the half-hour mark when a red card saw Juventud down to ten men. By then the visitors had already struggled, failing to win any of their five outings. To be fair, they had held two draws, but the absence of a victory told its own story. Three minutes later H. Vera Oviedo found the net, and the match was effectively decided.

Argentino controlled the tempo with 51 per cent possession and 94 attacks compared to 84 for the visitors. They registered four shots on target, while Juventud managed only one. The home side also earned two corners to the visitors' four, though that figure says little about the quality of chances created. And here's the thing — four shots on target for one goal means they didn't waste much.

Discipline was an issue for the away side, who collected three yellow cards in the closing stages alongside the dismissal. Argentino received just one yellow card during the contest. The visitors had already been on a poor run, with results including 0-0 draws and heavy defeats, so this setback added to their troubles at the bottom of the table.

Argentino moved up to seventh place with five points from six games, while Juventud remained ninth on two points from five matches. The home side's recent form showed a team finding its rhythm — two consecutive 1-1 draws before this win. The visitors, meanwhile, had nothing to do all evening once they went down to ten men.
