Gimnasia won 1-0 in Liniers, played much of the second half with ten men, and advanced to the Apertura Tournament quarterfinals.

Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata pulled off one of the upsets of the round of 16. They beat Vélez 1-0 in Liniers and made it into the top eight teams in the tournament. The only goal of the night was scored by Marcelo Torres from the penalty spot in the first half, after a great team move.

In the second half, Enzo Martínez was shown a red card 10 minutes in. From then on, Vélez controlled the ball and pushed forward, but lacked clarity in the final third.

Pata Pereyra’s team held on with one man down and earned its seventh straight win since the arrival of the new coaching staff.
