Late VAR Penalty Lifts Aldosivi Over Banfield, Boosts Survival Bid

The review-awarded spot kick leaves the Mar del Plata club positioned to clinch safety next round depending on Godoy Cruz’s trip to Atlético Tucumán.

Overview

  • Federico Gino won a stoppage-time penalty on VAR review by referee Luis Lobo Medina at Florencio Sola and converted it for the 1-0 result.
  • Aldosivi moved to 30 points, two clear of San Martín and Godoy Cruz, with a home finale against San Martín de San Juan to close the campaign.
  • Safety becomes attainable with a victory in the last match if Godoy Cruz fails to win in Tucumán, according to the standings scenarios outlined in coverage.
  • Banfield carried more threat after halftime, but goalkeeper Jorge Carranza preserved the clean sheet with several key saves.
  • Players displayed a banner honoring club official Josecito Moscuzza, who died earlier in the week, as the club linked on-field effort to recent loss.
