Match Overview

The winning goal arrived in the 78th minute, sparking wild celebrations among the traveling supporters.

First Half: Yupanqui’s Bright Start

Yupanqui took the lead in the 23rd minute when midfielder Tomás Sosa curled a delightful free‑kick over the wall and into the top corner. The home side continued to create chances, hitting the crossbar through striker Leandro Giménez just before the half‑hour mark. Berazategui struggled to find rhythm, but goalkeeper Nicolás Peralta made two crucial saves to keep the deficit at one.

Second‑Half Recovery by Berazategui

Whatever Berazategui coach Gustavo Herrera said at halftime worked wonders. The visitors emerged with renewed energy and equalised in the 52nd minute. A defensive mix‑up in the Yupanqui box allowed Lucas Maidana to poke home from close range after a corner wasn’t cleared.

Yupanqui tried to regain control, but the momentum had shifted. Berazategui grew in confidence and grabbed the winner 12 minutes from time. Winger Emiliano Rivas cut inside from the left and unleashed a fierce shot that took a slight deflection off a defender, wrong‑footing the home goalkeeper.
