With a brace from Facundo Bruera, Rubén Darío Insua's team secured all three points in front of their home crowd. The match started at a frantic pace. Just a few minutes after kickoff, midfielder Siro Rosané played a brilliant through-ball to Facundo Bruera, who finished precisely past goalkeeper Sergio 'Chiquito' Romero, putting his team ahead. At the 21st minute, Argentinos Juniors complicated their own situation when defender Claudio Bravo received a direct red card for a hard foul, leaving his team with one player less. Subsequently, after a VAR review, the goal was given as valid, and 'El Guapo' extended the lead to 2-0. With this victory, Insua's team climbed to third place in Zone A with 21 points, while Argentinos Juniors remained in seventh place with 18 points. 'A draw was not an option. We knew we had to win, and we did,' commented Insua. His counterpart, Nicolás Diez, was also sent off from the bench after an incident. At the 41st minute of the second half, Bruera scored again for Barracas Central, but initially, his goal was ruled out for offside.
