Newell's, who had less possession (35%), were incisive, registering three shots on target. However, Independiente, who had 65% possession and made 10 attempts on goal, were unable to turn their superiority into any real chances, with a final third lack of effectiveness. Newell's led 1-0 at the break thanks to the result. Newell's took advantage of a well crafted move to stretch their lead in the 49th minute with a García goal and held on in the second half. Independiente tried to react, continuing to push but cancelo levelled a few minutes later in the 90+4th minute.

Independiente had better possession (64%) and shots (16 attempts to Newell's 11) but home side were more effective with finishing, scoring two of their seven shots on target.

Central Córdoba were beaten 0-1 by Rosario. The first 45 minutes was level, Rosario having 60 percent possession but neither side could carve out clear cut chances. Neither team could change the scoreline with one goal apiece in the first half, when Rosario had one shot on target to Central Córdoba's four. Rosario had the lion’s share of possession (54%)𝓰 in the second half and, although not as much as in the first, showed more organisation in attack. But few clear cut chances were afforded to either team and the match remained tight. Rosario secured the victory with the decisive goal in the 90th minute, when Dupuy finished effectively following a well worked team move. Overall, Rosario were the most efficient, having only three attempts on target from nine, while Central Córdoba had ten attempts on the whole and five on target yet couldn't crack the solid opposition defence.

It’s a tough match to predict. Independiente has🌼 great results at home, but Central Cordoba also is good at away games. I think that both teams will score.
