Match summary
Defensa y Justicia secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Union Santa Fe at the Estadio 15 de Abril in a Liga Profesional encounter.

Juan Manuel Gutiérrez opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, assisted by David Barbona, before Gutiérrez turned provider for César Pérez to double the lead in the 45th minute. Despite Union Santa Fe's efforts and several substitutions aimed at shifting the momentum, they were unable to find a way back into the game.

The visitors weathered a late flurry of cards, including a red for Santiago Sosa, to hold on for their crucial away win.
