Vélez defeated Estudiantes 1-0 and became the sole leader of Group A in the Torneo Apertura. The goal was scored by Florián Monzón 13 minutes into the second half, ending the "Pincha’s" 13-match unbeaten streak and taking Vélez to the top of the group.

The match was tight and was decided by a corner kick. After the goal, Vélez held on to their lead and Estudiantes was unable to create clear chances to equalize.

Now without Eduardo Dominguez, Alexander Medina’s team lost their unbeaten run in the tournament and surrendered the top spot. In the second half, they couldn’t find any cohesive play and the substitutions didn’t change the course of the game.
