San Martin de Tucuman vs Newell’s

San Martin Tucuman stopped a negative streak of three games without a win (two draws, one loss) in the best possible way: after trailing 2-0 at one point, they reversed the score to beat arch-rivals Atletico Tucuman 3-2 away from home. That result also allowed El Ciruja to be level with San Martin SJ in the point-average table, which means they would have to decide the last relegation spot in a playoff. San Martin is on 16 points on their return to the Superliga and they remain unbeaten at home, with two successes and five ties.

Thanks to Hector Fertoli’s goal in the second half, Newell’s Old Boys broke a three-game winless run of one draw and two defeats by beating Patronato 1-0 at home in interim boss Hector Bidoglio’s debut. However, the team are still performing a poor campaign, having accumulated 15 points so far. Furthermore, La Lepra is the worst away side in the league, having registered a single draw and six defeats.
