Overview

• Argentinos Juniors overturned an early deficit to beat Racing 4-1 in La Paternal, with Alan Lescano, Hernán López Muñoz, Matías Giménez and Nicolás Oróz scoring after halftime control.
• The win moves Argentinos to 8 points in their group, while Racing stays on 4 near the bottom as Gustavo Costas served a touchline suspension.
• Racing’s Santiago Solari exited early after a right‑leg trauma and, according to local reporting, reacted angrily on the bench following the precautionary substitution.
• Rosario Central edged Newell’s 1-0 through an Ángel Di María free kick, a decision later scrutinized as analysts highlighted attacker positioning in front of the defensive wall that did not trigger a VAR review under Law 13.
• Newell’s coach Cristian Fabbiani faced criticism for a conservative plan and must adjust for a short week, with Luciano Lollo suspended for Barracas Central and a Copa Argentina quarterfinal on the horizon.
