Belgrano defeated Defensa y Justicia 2-0 at home, achieving an important victory. The match took place at the Gigante del Barrio Alberdi, with the presence of coach Ricardo Zielinski, who previously led the team to the first division in 2011 in a historic final against River Plate. Nicolás “Uvita” Fernández was the star of the match, scoring two goals, one at 38 minutes into the first half and the second at 12 minutes into the second half.
On the other hand, Atlético Tucumán could not face Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in their own stadium. At the Monumental José Fierro, the home team was caught off guard by an early goal from Rodrigo Castillo at 5 minutes into the first half, causing a lack of coordination in the defense. The team managed by Diego Flores managed to take the lead due to the absence of defensive reaction from Atlético Tucumán and remained firm to secure the victory against the offensive inability of the "Decano".
In the standings, Belgrano is in 11th place with eight points, while Defensa y Justicia is in fifth place with 11 points. The football day will continue on Monday with the following matches: Barracas Central vs. Newell’s at 17:00, Argentinos Juniors vs. Independiente Rivadavia at 19:00, and Tigre vs. Banfield at 21:00. The match between Unión de Santa Fe and Racing has been postponed until Thursday, March 20, due to the Recopa Sudamericana final that Racing will play against Botafogo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
