Deportivo Morón put four past Acassuso in a Primera Nacional clash that settled matters early and left little room for doubt. The hosts opened the scoring at the twenty-fourth minute through E. Iniguez and never looked back. By then the visitors had already tasted defeat, though they would not concede for long.
What followed was a rapid succession of goals that broke the game open. T. Rodriguez struck at the thirty-sixth minute and F. Fagundez added a third just sixty seconds later. To be fair, Acassuso had their chances but could not convert them, and the deficit grew to three goals before half-time.
The second half brought substitutions and cards rather than drama. Acassuso brought on R. Reynoso at the forty-sixth minute while Deportivo Morón made two changes at the sixty-sixth, bringing on M. Levato and L. Rey. L. Pioli saw red at the eighty-eighth minute, leaving his side with nine men for the closing stages.
There was still time for one more moment. F. Toloza converted a penalty at the ninety-minute mark, but the result was already decided. The hosts had extended their unbeaten run in front of their own supporters, and the visitors found themselves deeper in trouble.
The statistics told a straightforward story. Deportivo Morón held 52 per cent possession and registered four shots on target compared to two for the visitors. Shots accuracy sat at 57 per cent for the hosts and 40 per cent for Acassuso. One mistake ends it when you are playing with nine men.
Deportivo Morón sit second in the table with fifty-two points from twenty-eight games. Acassuso remain in eighteenth place with twenty-three points, fifteen defeats alongside five victories. The gap between them is now twenty-nine points, and there is no value left at that number for the visitors.
