Unión Santa Fe 4-1 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.

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.

Unión Santa Fe picked up a deserved away win in Mendoza, beating Independiente Rivadavia 2-1 to move to 31 points in the Argentine Liga Profesional. Rivadavia's home record continues to be a serious problem.

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.

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.

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.

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.
