Argentine Group C Tebolidun League Manchester – 1 June 2026

Leandro N Alem continued their strong domestic campaign with a professional 2‑0 victory over Justo José de Urquiza at the Estadio Leandro N Alem. The result keeps Alem firmly in the promotion picture while leaving Urquiza searching for answers after a third defeat in four matches.

Match Overview

Alem dominated the first half and took a deserved lead just before the interval. They then managed the game expertly in the second half, doubling their lead and seeing out the win without alarm. Urquiza struggled to create clear‑cut chances, with Alem’s backline well organised throughout.

Key Moments

• 42nd minute – Franco Cuello opened the scoring, turning in a low cross from the right after a patient build‑up.
• 63rd minute – A defensive error from Urquiza allowed Julián Acosta to intercept a backpass and slot home for 2‑0.
• 80th minute – Urquiza hit the post from a free kick, their closest attempt of the night.

Tactical Story

Alem deployed a compact 4‑4‑1‑1 that gave them solidity in midfield and allowed wide players to break forward. Urquiza attempted to build through a 4‑3‑3 but were repeatedly stifled by Alem’s quick pressing triggers. The visitors’ lack of a focal point in attack was evident.

Standout Players

• Franco Cuello (Alem) – Scored the opener and was a constant outlet on the right flank.
• Julián Acosta (Alem) – His opportunistic goal showcased his poacher’s instinct; he also won several duels.
• Gustavo Pino (Alem) – Stalwart at centre‑back, making crunching tackles and organising the offside trap.

Season Impact

Leandro N Alem climb to second place in Group C, two points behind the leaders. Urquiza remain in the bottom half, now six points adrift of the playoff spots. Alem face a mid‑table side next week, while Urquiza host a direct rival in a must‑win encounter.
