Benjamín Aceval claimed a 2:1 win over Tres de Noviembre in the División Intermedia's eighteenth round on Sunday, a result that shifts the momentum for the fourth-placed hosts at the expense of the visitors languishing in fifteenth.
E. Romero was sent off in the twenty-seventh minute, leaving Benjamín Aceval to play the remainder with ten men, yet O. Arguello had already given his side the lead three minutes later, and here's the thing — the red card did not break the visitors' spirit.
R. Bordon levelled in the forty-ninth minute before D. Martinez struck in the ninety-second minute to lift Benjamín Aceval back into the lead, and by then the visitors were searching for an equaliser that never came.
Tres de Noviembre held 63 per cent possession and registered eight shots on target compared to six for the hosts, yet they could only find the net themselves once, while Benjamín Aceval converted two chances from six attempts on goal.
The result extends Benjamín Aceval's unbeaten run after three draws in five, while the defeat leaves Tres de Noviembre deeper in the lower half with just nineteen points from twenty-three matches.
