CA Belgrano claimed a hard-fought 1–0 victory over CA Aldosivi in Liga Profesional Apertura action on matchday 14, thanks to a decisive first-half strike from Lucas Zelarayán.
The breakthrough arrived in the 28th minute when Zelarayán finished a move created by Belgrano teammate Nicolás Fernández. The attacking midfielder’s goal put the hosts ahead and ultimately separated the sides at full time.
Belgrano were forced into an early change before the interval, with Adrián Spörle replacing Juan Velazquez in the 41st minute. The match turned on its head shortly after the restart when Emiliano Rigoni was shown a straight red card for the home side in the 51st minute, leaving Belgrano to defend their lead with 10 men.
The dismissal sparked a tense spell, with Aldosivi’s Axel Werner booked in the same minute. The visitors responded by increasing their intensity but collected a series of yellow cards as they chased an equaliser. Martín Garcia (56’), Junior Arias (68’), Blas Palavecino (72’), Tomás Fernández (78’) and Fernando Román (90’) were all cautioned as Aldosivi pushed forward but failed to find a way through.
Both coaches turned to their benches in the second half. Belgrano introduced Ramiro Hernándes, Alexis Maldonado and Santiago Longo, while Aldosivi brought on Tomás Fernández, Nicolás Cordero, Rodrigo Marquez, Blas Palavecino and later Alejandro Villarreal in an attempt to change the dynamic of the game.
Despite Aldosivi’s late pressure, Belgrano’s defensive reshuffle held firm to secure the three points and a clean sheet. Detailed statistics such as possession figures, shots and individual chance descriptions were not available from the official data source.
The result keeps Belgrano well-positioned in the Liga Profesional Apertura race, while Aldosivi leave empty-handed after a frustrating night in which their aggression never translated into a goal.
