Match report

Platense Clinch Narrow Victory at Barracas Central

Platense secured a 2-1 away win against Barracas Central in the Clausura round six of the Argentine Professional League, played at the Estadio Claudio Chiqui Tapia on Saturday evening. The visitors took the lead through Kevin Retamar before Ivan Tapia's penalty for the hosts levelled matters, but Leonardo Gimenez's late strike proved decisive. Barracas Central started brighter, earning a penalty in the twenty-third minute that Tapia converted confidently. Platense responded well, with Retamar finding space in the penalty area to slot home in the fifty-ninth minute. The hosts pushed for an equaliser but could only manage a distant consolation from Gimenez in the ninetieth minute. The statistics tell a story of Platense's superiority. They enjoyed 55 per cent possession and created 2.67 expected goals to Barracas Central's 1.6, yet both sides ended with similar shot accuracy figures. Platense generated six big chances against the hosts' three, though their conversion rate was limited by a resilient home defence. The result moves Platense closer to safety in the standings. Sitting twelfth with sixteen points from sixteen games, they have now avoided defeat in five consecutive matches. Barracas Central remain ninth on twenty-one points, but their recent form suggests they have work to do if they want to climb further up the table.
