Tigre defeated Aldosivi 1-0 in a match that took place tonight at the José Dellagiovanna stadium, for the fifth date of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. According to the Argentine News Agency, striker David Romero scored the only goal of the night at the 11-minute mark, establishing himself as one of the top scorers of the tournament with four goals. Thus, the team led by Diego Dabove leads Zone B of the Apertura with 13 points, while the “Shark” is thirteenth with three units and still without a win. In the next round, the “Matador” will visit Central Córdoba on Saturday, February 21st at 21:30, while the Mar del Plata team must visit Unión on Sunday, 22nd from 21:00. The first chance was for the home team at six minutes, with a free kick on the right edge of the area that was shot by defender Federico Álvarez, which hit the crossbar. Aldosivi arrived for the first time a minute later, with a control, turn, and shot from the center of the area by striker Junior Arias, which went just over the bar. At nine minutes, the same Arias brought down a ball after a cross and allowed the first-time shot of midfielder Esteban Rolón, which went wide of the near post. Tigre opened the score at 11 minutes, with a long pass from defender Alan Barrionuevo that set up David Romero, who got behind his markers, found himself one-on-one, and finished with a shot against the goalkeeper Axel Werner. Two minutes later, a corner to the far post set up Barrionuevo, whose header hit the right post of Werner. At 17 minutes, a pass from the left side of the area reached attacker Ignacio Russo, who shot on the turn, and his high shot to the near post was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. The next minute, Russo filtered a pass to leave Romero one-on-one on the left side of the area, although this time the attacker could not get past Werner with a low shot. The first dangerous play of the second half was by the visitors, at 18 minutes, with a run and back cross from the left side by Guillermo Enrique for Arias, whose shot went well high. The “Matador” arrived at 27 minutes, with a shot from the edge of the area by midfielder Martín Garay, which went high by the near post. Garay himself generated danger again, at 41 minutes, with a long and frontal shot that would have gone into the right angle of Werner, had it not been for his saving hand.
