Velez Sarsfield U20 4–1 CA Aldosivi U20 | Argentine Youth League – 13 June 2026

Velez Sarsfield U20 produced a commanding performance to sweep aside CA Aldosivi U20 at the Estadio José Amalfitani on 13 June 2026, running out 4–1 winners. The result underscores Velez’s title credentials in the Argentine Youth League, while Aldosivi were left to rue a defensive collapse after a promising opening.

Match Overview

From the first whistle, Velez displayed the high‑pressing, vertical football that has made them one of the most entertaining sides in the competition. Within the first quarter of an hour, they had already carved out three clear chances – with only the alertness of Aldosivi goalkeeper Mateo Sánchez keeping the score level. However, the floodgates opened midway through the first half as the home side scored twice in quick succession.

Key Moments

• 24' – Goal: Velez winger Facundo López cuts inside and curls a left‑footed shot into the far corner.
• 29' – Goal: Forward Lautaro Acosta doubles the lead with a composed finish after a swift counter‑attack.
• 45+1' – Goal: Acosta grabs his second with a header from a cross to make it 3–0 at the break.
• 52' – Goal: Midfielder Santiago Martínez slots home a penalty after a handball, extending the lead to 4–0.
• 68' – Consolation: Aldosivi’s Matías González pulls one back with a powerful drive from the edge of the box.

Standout Performers

Lautaro Acosta was the star of the evening, scoring a brace and providing an assist for López’s opener. His movement off the ball constantly stretched the Aldosivi defence, creating space for his teammates. In midfield, Nicolás Pereira controlled the tempo with a 92% pass completion rate and three key passes. For Aldosivi, substitute forward Gonzalo Castro injected energy after the hour mark and should have scored a second goal but was denied by Velez keeper Federico Álvarez.

Table Implications

The victory consolidates Velez Sarsfield U20’s position among the top three in the Argentine Youth League standings, now level on points with the league leaders with a superior goal difference. Aldosivi U20, meanwhile, slip to 12th and face a tough run‑in against mid‑table rivals. If Velez can maintain this blistering form, they will be serious contenders for the youth league crown.
