Patronato and Gimnasia de Jujuy shared the points in a 3-3 draw in the Argentine Primera Nacional on Friday. The match ended level after both sides traded blows across the ninety minutes. The result leaves the hosts in seventeenth place and the visitors on third.
Diaz opened the scoring in the seventeenth minute before Gallardo restored parity for the visitors twenty minutes later. The hosts regained the lead through Diaz in the sixty-third minute after Dematei had been sent off in the fifty-second minute. Gallardo struck twice to complete a comeback for the away side.
The red card came after Dematei received a second yellow, and Patronato had to play the final twenty-six minutes with ten men. Miro thought he had rescued a point for the visitors in the fifty-seventh minute before Diaz levelled again. Cosaro then added a late goal for Gimnasia to ensure the draw held.
The hosts registered seventy-nine attacks and ten shots off target, while the visitors managed one hundred and nine attacks with only one shot wide. The visitors' red card limited their attacking output, but they still created more chances overall. The hosts' shots on target told a different story, with nine landing compared to six for the visitors.
Patronato sit seventeenth with twenty-eight points from twenty-seven games. Gimnasia occupy third place with forty-six points, seven above the hosts. A draw leaves both sides with unfinished business as the season enters its final stages.
