Aldosivi and Tigre Draw 0-0 as Requena’s Red Card Fails to Break Deadlock

Aldosivi and Tigre Share Points After Goalless Draw

Aldosivi 0-0 Tigre as both sides shared the points in the fifth round of the Liga Profesional Argentina Clausura at Estadio Jose Maria Minella. Aldosivi produced more attempts, but Tigre’s greater possession and passing control ensured the visitors remained competitive before G. Requena’s late dismissal changed the final stages.

A Goalless Draw in Mar del Plata

Aldosivi and Tigre could not find a goal in Mar del Plata, despite combining for 32 shots. Israel Damonte’s Aldosivi lined up in a 4-2-3-1 and recorded 20 attempts, including four on target, while Diego Dabove’s 4-4-2 produced 12 shots and two efforts on goal.

The home side had the greater attacking volume, but neither team created a decisive advantage. Tigre held 55% possession and completed 80% of its passes, compared with Aldosivi’s 45% possession and 68% passing accuracy, allowing the visitors to maintain long spells of control without converting that authority into a goal.

Pressure Without a Breakthrough

Aldosivi’s pressure was reflected in its 10 shots from inside the box and six corners, although six of its attempts were blocked and another 10 missed the target. Tigre also threatened around the area, registering seven inside-box shots and winning nine corners, but the visitors were similarly unable to produce a winning finish.

The expected-goals figures underlined how even the contest was, with Aldosivi at 1.01 and Tigre at 1.02. Both goalkeepers made three saves, while the near-identical chance-quality numbers showed why the higher shot count for Aldosivi did not translate into a result in the home side’s favour.

Requena’s Red Card Shapes the Finale

The major disciplinary moment arrived in the 78th minute when G. Requena was shown a second yellow card and sent off. His first caution had come just two minutes earlier, leaving Tigre with 10 players for the closing period.

S. Lopez had also been booked for Tigre in the 44th minute, while F. Anso and L. Sigali received first-half yellow cards for Aldosivi. The numerical advantage gave Aldosivi an opportunity to apply late pressure, but the home side could not turn its extra player into a breakthrough.

Table and Form Implications

The draw took Aldosivi to two points after five Clausura matches, while Tigre moved to eight points from the same number of games. Before kickoff, Aldosivi were 14th in Group B with one point from four matches, whereas Tigre were fifth with seven points, so the result preserved the difference between the teams in the early table.

Aldosivi’s recent sequence now includes two consecutive draws after a loss, while Tigre followed a run featuring a win, a draw and a win with another stalemate. Federico Álvarez was the standout performer, earning a 7.7 rating after playing all 94 minutes, supplying one key pass and making three tackles as Tigre resisted the home side’s pressure.
