Racing Club 1-2 Atlético Tucumán result, stats and report

Racing Club turned territorial superiority into three points at home, recovering from Gimnasia's equaliser with a decisive headed goal in the 69th minute to claim a 2-1 victory that their volume of play thoroughly merited.

Independiente Rivadavia, the Argentine Liga Profesional's dominant force, were held to a goalless draw in Tucumán despite controlling possession and creating the cleaner opportunities across ninety minutes.

Rosario Central and Racing Club played out a 1-1 draw in the Argentine Liga Profesional, a result that does neither side massive favours at the top of a genuinely packed table.

Rosario Central have been virtually unbeatable at home this season, but Racing Club arrive at the Gigante de Arroyito with nothing to lose and a point to prove after a difficult run on their travels.

Racing Club host Gimnasia La Plata on Sunday in a fixture that pits a side struggling to assert itself at home against visitors who have won four of their last five matches. The tactical contrast here is sharper than the standings suggest.

Independiente Rivadavia arrive in Tucumán as the Argentine Liga Profesional's form side, but Atlético Tucumán have not lost at home all season. Something has to give on Sunday.
