Match Recap
Instituto Cordoba's trip to Defensa Y Justicia didn't need fireworks, just one well-timed strike. Jeremías Ezequiel Lázaro broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute and that single goal was enough to see Instituto through, 1-0, away from home in the Liga Profesional Argentina. The result tightens the gap at the top of the table: Instituto climb to 21 points and ninth place on the back of a five-match run that reads WDWWW, while Defensa, sitting tenth on 19 points despite a solid LWWDW stretch, come away with nothing to show for their effort. It's familiar territory for these two as well, Defensa have now lost both of their last meetings with Instituto without picking up a single point. Lázaro's name won't ring bells next to league top scorer C. Tarragona's 19 goals this season, but on this afternoon he was the only man who mattered. Catch the goal that settled it, and see exactly how Instituto's defense made 23 minutes feel like enough, in the highlights below.
