The result keeps Puerto Nuevo in the hunt for a top‑half finish, while Deportivo Muniz remain mired in the lower reaches of the standings after a hard‑fought but ultimately fruitless evening.

Match Overview

Both sides entered the contest desperate for points, but it was the visitors who showed the sharper edge in front of goal. After a cautious opening 20 minutes, the deadlock was broken just before the half‑hour mark. A well‑worked corner from the right found the head of Puerto Nuevo centre‑back Lautaro Giménez, who powered the ball past the helpless home goalkeeper. Deportivo Muniz responded with purpose in the second half, creating several half‑chances, but the Puerto Nuevo defence held firm to preserve their clean sheet.

Key Moments

• 85' – Crucial save: Puerto Nuevo goalkeeper Ignacio Ramos denies a close‑range header to preserve the lead.

Standout Performers

Giménez was the match‑winner with his well‑timed run and finish, but the real backbone of the victory was the visitors’ defensive unit. Full‑backs Federico Molina and Emiliano Ríos combined for 11 clearances and 4 interceptions, nullifying the home side’s attempts to build through the wings. For Deportivo Muniz, young playmaker Julián Correa showed flashes of creativity but lacked the final ball needed to unlock the resolute Puerto Nuevo backline.
