In a tense encounter on Date 12 of the Apertura, Atlético Tucumán managed to edge out Gimnasia with a narrow 1-0 victory at the Monumental Stadium in Tucumán. The only goal of the match came early in the first half, at the 12th minute, when Clever Ferreira found the net, contributing significantly to his team’s success.
The goal was a result of a well-executed corner kick taken by Franco Nicola. Ferreira, displaying great positioning, leaped to head the ball into the back of the net.
