Platense Triumphs with Taborda's Double in San Juan

The footballer who emerged from Boca, Augusto Lotti, had a unique moment in his career by scoring a brace for the first time during a match. On this occasion, in a game between Platense and San Martín de San Juan, Lotti contributed to the creation of decisive plays.

During the match, Lotti demonstrated his skill by holding off the pressure from an opposing defender to provide the crucial pass to Vicente Taborda, who managed to score a goal in the 11th minute and a second goal at 31 minutes thanks to an accurate assist from Guido Mainero. Later, Taborda completed his work with a header that became the third goal of the match.

However, the celebration was marred by the intervention of VAR, which disallowed a goal from Juan Ignacio Saborido for offside by another player. Despite this incident, Platense achieved a clear victory by winning 2-0 away at the Estadio Ingeniero Hilario Sánchez.

Following this result, Vicente López's team managed to return to the path of victory in the Apertura Tournament of the Argentine Professional Football League, reaching seventh place in Zone B and solidifying their position among the qualifiers for the round of 16. Platense's next challenge will be to host Atlético Tucumán.

In contrast, San Martín de San Juan descended to the last position in their group and to the second-to-last position in the annual table, remaining close to the relegation zone. The team, led by Raúl Antuña, is preparing for the upcoming match against Gimnasia de Jujuy in the Argentine Cup.

Standing out in the first half, Vicente Taborda was a key figure in Platense's victory, contributing with his brace to securing the three points at stake.
