0-0 draw leaves Atletico Tucuman and Belgrano separated by one point

A goalless draw at Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro

Atletico Tucuman and Belgrano Cordoba finished 0-0 in Liga Profesional Argentina’s Clausura - 7 on Sunday, August 30. The draw gave Atletico Tucuman one point from a match in which they were largely outplayed in possession, while Belgrano’s greater control did not produce a winning goal.

Belgrano had 63% of the ball and completed 505 passes, including 413 accurate passes at an 82% rate. Atletico Tucuman managed 294 passes, with 212 accurate, and a 72% completion rate. That advantage in circulation helped Belgrano dictate much of the contest, but the finishing numbers remained limited: the visitors registered three shots on goal and Atletico managed two.

Few clear openings at either end

The overall shot count slightly favored Atletico Tucuman, who attempted 15 efforts to Belgrano’s 10. However, seven of Atletico’s attempts were blocked, and their expected goals total was only 0.48. Belgrano recorded 0.54 expected goals, illustrating how narrowly the match was balanced despite the visitors’ territorial advantage. Both goalkeepers made three saves for Atletico’s Luis Ingolotti and two for Belgrano.

Neither side found a breakthrough, so there were no goal scorers or decisive attacking moments to separate the teams. Atletico earned six corners to Belgrano’s three, but their 15 attempts did not translate into a clear scoring advantage. The 0-0 scoreline therefore reflected a match in which possession and pressure were not converted into goals.

Cards and changes shape the second half

Belgrano’s R. Hernandes was booked in the 45th minute, and F. Vazquez received a yellow card in the 57th. The visitors then made their first listed change in the 64th minute, replacing N. Fernandez with L. Passerini. Atletico responded with R. Ruiz replacing R. Tesuri at 71 minutes.

Further substitutions followed late on. Belgrano introduced J. Velazquez for E. Rigoni in the 77th minute, while Atletico brought on M. Brondo for L. Diaz and E. Ham for N. Franco at 78. Atletico’s N. Lamendola was booked at 80 minutes, before A. J. Benitez Cabrera gave Belgrano a third yellow card at 83.
