Belgrano 2-0 Unión Santa Fe result, stats and report

Belgrano ground out a 2-1 victory over Rosario Central at home, with a substitute sealing the points in the 88th minute to confirm what the underlying numbers had been suggesting all season about this Pirata side.

Platense dominated possession and territory for long stretches at home, yet Unión Santa Fe twice led before a late equaliser made it 2-2 in a match defined by own goals, a penalty, VAR interventions, and a Platense side that cannot stop conceding at home.

Belgrano produced a memorable away performance at the Estadio Monumental, defeating River Plate 3-2 in a five-goal thriller that sent shockwaves through the Argentine Liga Profesional title race.

Unión Santa Fe host a Lanús side that has scored just one goal across their last five matches, but whose defensive discipline may be enough to frustrate a home team struggling to convert possession into results. Our updated preview for the 6 August Liga Profesional fixture.

Belgrano arrive at Victor Martínez Luro with six wins from their last ten and a momentum slope pointing upward. But Tigre's structural compactness at home and the evidence pointing firmly toward a tight, low-scoring game means the visitor's form may not translate the way punters expect. Sophie Hargreaves breaks down the patterns.

Platense have not won a single home game in their last five attempts and are conceding freely, while Unión Santa Fe arrive carrying both genuine attacking intent and a defence that simply cannot hold a lead. Something has to give on Sunday.

Two of Argentine football's most passionate rivalries collides in the Liga Profesional as Belgrano welcome Rosario Central to the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes on Sunday, with both sides separated by just two points in a congested table and very different stories to tell away from home.

Cristian Romero has admitted he 'wasn't perfect' at Tottenham in an emotional farewell message as his £34.2m move to Atletico Madrid nears completion. The tribute glosses over a turbulent final season that included a relegation scare, a Belgrano controversy and fan backlash.
