Vélez defeated Platense 2-0 in Vicente López on Saturday, during matchday 11 of the 2026 Apertura Tournament of the Professional League. This solid victory confirms their great moment, keeping them undefeated and at the top of Zone A. Vélez's goals were scored by Florián Monzón in the 8th minute of the first half and Lucas Robertone in the 49th minute of the second half. The visiting team started strong and set the tone for the match from the beginning. Monzón opened the score early on, while Robertone extended the lead at the start of the second half, sealing the victory for Vélez. This was also his first goal since returning from Europe. With this result, the Liniers team reached 22 points in 10 matches, with a record of six wins and four draws, and now leads Zone A. Platense, meanwhile, remains with 14 points after ten games. Despite shared possession, Vélez was more effective in the final third: both teams ended with 14 shots, but Fortín registered six shots on target compared to Calamar's four, showcasing their greater offensive weight to resolve a demanding away game. Thus, Vélez returned to winning ways after their previous draw against Tigre and took another firm step towards their goal of maintaining themselves as one of the main protagonists of the Apertura, with a campaign that so far combines regularity, solidity, and an unbeaten streak.
