Aldosivi Held to Goalless Draw by Estudiantes de Río Cuarto in Card-Heavy Apertura Clash
CA Aldosivi and Estudiantes de Río Cuarto shared the points in a 0-0 draw on Saturday, as Matchday 13 of the Liga Profesional Apertura produced a tense but ultimately goalless encounter.
Playing at home, Aldosivi endured a stop-start first half dominated by fouls and cautions. The hosts collected three yellow cards before the break, with defender Nicolás Zalazar, midfielder Esteban Rolón and Federico Gino all booked inside the opening 38 minutes. Estudiantes, by contrast, reached half-time without any cards but were also unable to turn their discipline into a breakthrough on the scoresheet.
Aldosivi sought fresh energy early in the second half, making a series of substitutions shortly after the interval. Emanuel Guzman, Matias Morello, Martín Garcia and Facundo De La Vega all entered between the 54th and 62nd minutes as the home side tried to tilt the balance in their favour.
Estudiantes responded with changes of their own, introducing Siro Rosane, Tobías Ostchega, Mauro Valiente and later Javier Ferreira to chase a decisive goal. The visitors’ growing intensity finally brought disciplinary action when Tomás González was cautioned in the 79th minute.
The game’s key flashpoint arrived a minute later. Having already been booked, Zalazar received a second caution and a resulting red card in the 80th minute, leaving Aldosivi to finish the match with ten men. Estudiantes pushed late on, but only added another yellow card for Alejandro Cabrera in stoppage time as Aldosivi held firm to preserve the clean sheet.
