Sarmiento back to winning ways thanks to a Junior Marabel goal | OneFootball

Sarmiento de Junín defeated Estudiantes de Río Cuarto 1-0 at the Eva Perón and returned to victory after three consecutive losses.

The only goal of the match came 10 minutes into the first half. Juan Pablo Loustau reviewed a handball by Juan Antonini after consulting the VAR and awarded a penalty. Junior Marabel took responsibility and scored to make it 1-0.

With the lead, Facundo Sava's team sat back and held onto the result against an opponent that tried to push forward but lacked clarity in the final third. In the second half, Estudiantes pressed with offensive changes, but couldn't break through the home team's defense.

El Verde picked up three points in a direct clash for survival and gained some breathing room in the standings. The Río Cuarto side remains in trouble in the lower part of the table.
