Estudiantes lose unbeaten run to Vélez, surrender top spot in Apertura

The match was tight and was decided by a corner kick. After the goal, Vélez held onto 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 gave up the top spot. In the second half, they couldn't find any cohesive play and the substitutions did not change the course of the game.
