Banfield turn it around against Estudiantes RC and celebrate at home | OneFootball

Banfield achieved a key victory at the Florencio Sola, where they defeated Estudiantes de Río Cuarto 2-1 in the third round of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. Pedro Troglio’s team started behind on the scoreboard, but responded in the second half and ended up taking all three points for the first time in the tournament—a result that allows them to move away from the relegation zone.

The Celeste had taken the lead at 14 minutes into the first half with a goal from Martín Garnerone, capitalizing on a hesitant start from the home side. However, Banfield changed their attitude after the break and found answers from the bench: Lautaro Gómez scored the equalizer 11 minutes into the second half and, when the match seemed headed for a draw, Mauro Méndez appeared at the 43rd minute.

With this win, El Taladro breaks their winless streak and gains confidence for what’s ahead, while Estudiantes (RC) return to Córdoba empty-handed after having the match in their favor for much of the night.
