Aldosivi Mar del Plata claimed an emphatic 3-1 victory over CA Banfield in Argentine Primera División action on 6 September 2026, producing a determined performance at the Estadio José María Minella. The result gave the hosts a timely boost and left Banfield with serious questions to answer after a flat evening on the road.

Aldosivi seize control

Banfield arrived in Mar del Plata hoping to impose themselves against a side looking to climb away from the lower reaches. However, it was Aldosivi who started with greater urgency, pressing high and denying the visitors time to settle. The opening goal came as a reward for that aggressive start, with Aldosivi attacking down the right and finishing clinically from close range after a well-worked move.

The home side grew in confidence after breaking through. Their passing became sharper and their movement off the ball caused constant problems for Banfield’s defensive line. A second goal just after the interval looked like a heavy blow for El Taladro, but to their credit the visitors refused to fold completely.

Banfield’s response and a late spark

Banfield eventually pulled a goal back, giving the match a different feeling and forcing Aldosivi to regroup. For a short spell, the visitors pushed forward with more intent, and the home supporters began to feel the pressure. But Aldosivi defended their box well and showed enough game management to steady themselves during that difficult period.

Any hopes of a Banfield equaliser were extinguished in the closing minutes when Aldosivi finished the contest with a third goal on the counter-attack. It was a ruthless moment and a fitting end to a performance built on intensity and efficiency in both boxes.

Season impact

The three points are significant for Aldosivi as they look to build momentum in the domestic table. For Banfield, the defeat highlights a need for greater sharpness, particularly in the final third and when dealing with transitions. With the league extremely competitive, this was a result that could have consequences in the fine margins at both ends of the standings later in the season.
