Racing Club 3-1 Sarmiento result, stats and report

Argentinos Juniors came from behind to beat Sarmiento 3-2 in a wild Argentine Liga Profesional clash, with a 90th-minute strike from substitute Braian Rivero sealing the points for the visitors.

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.

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.

Two sides sitting in the lower reaches of the Liga Profesional table meet on Tuesday night, with Banfield holding a meaningful home advantage over a Sarmiento side that has conceded nine goals away from home in their last six matches on the road.

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.

Sarmiento have built something quietly impressive at home this season, but Argentinos Juniors arrive at Estadio Eva Perón on Sunday as one of the Liga Profesional's most consistent sides. The patterns in the data tell a story worth paying attention to.
