Barracas claim first win of the year, beat Gimnasia 2-0 | OneFootball

Barracas Central achieved their first victory in the Apertura Tournament by defeating Gimnasia de La Plata 2-0 at home in the Claudio Tapia stadium, for the fourth round of Group B. The goals for Rubén Insúa’s team were scored by Kevin Jappert and Iván Tapia.

El Guapo opened the scoring at the 34th minute of the first half, when Jappert capitalized on a set piece following a corner kick. In the second half, Tapia extended the lead at the 15th minute with a free kick that sealed the result.

With the lead, Barracas controlled the flow of the match and maintained the advantage against a Gimnasia side that failed to show depth or clarity in attack. The team from La Plata suffered a defeat just before the derby against Estudiantes.

With this result, Barracas Central reached five points and is now seventh in Group B. In the next round, they will visit Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito. Gimnasia, meanwhile, remains on six points and will host Estudiantes on Sunday, February 15 at El Bosque.
