Match report
Los Materos end La Plata's hopes with 23-7 victory
Los Materos beat La Plata 23:7 on Friday evening in the Top-12, a result that upended our prediction and left the visitors looking well below par. We had backed La Plata at 56 per cent confidence, but the match went another way entirely. By then it was clear the home side had something to prove, and they did not waste the opportunity.
The hosts sit 13th on 32 points after 24 games, while La Plata occupy 12th with 37 points from the same number of matches. Both sides have seven wins and 17 defeats, but the gap in points tells a different story. And here's the thing: the visitors came in with momentum from a 22-7 win over Champagne, yet that form evaporated quickly.
Los Materos have struggled recently, losing four of their last five, but they found a way against a side that had looked solid on paper. La Plata, meanwhile, have won only one of their past five and were unable to match the pace from the opening whistle. To be fair, the home crowd sensed blood and came for everything they could.
The final score reflects a match where the visitors never got out of second gear after the first ten minutes. Los Materos controlled territory and possession, while La Plata could not string together any meaningful attacks. The visitors finished with fewer points than their previous three outings combined, and that tells you everything you need to know.
This result moves Los Materos closer to safety, though they still have work to do. La Plata drop further behind and face a difficult run of fixtures if they want to climb. The gap between them remains five points, but the momentum has shifted decisively.
