In a match corresponding to the third round of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League, Newell's defeated Aldosivi 1-0 at home, thus achieving their first points in the championship. The winning goal was scored by Gonzalo Maroni in the 28th minute of the first half, with a powerful shot that left the opposing goalkeeper, Jorge Carranza, with no chance, following an assist from Alejo Tabares.
This victory was crucial for Newell's, who had previously suffered defeats against Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza and Banfield in earlier rounds. Furthermore, the match was notable for marking the debut of Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas in Argentine football, adding extra significance to the day.
On the other hand, Aldosivi continues to perform poorly in the Apertura Tournament, being one of the few teams that have not yet earned any points in the championship. In the next round, Newell's will play as a visitor against Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero, while Aldosivi will host Barracas Central in Mar del Plata.
