Match Report
Vélez Sarsfield extended their unbeaten run at the top of Zone A with a clinical 2-0 victory over Platense at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López. Dilan Godoy was the architect of both goals, delivering two assists in a commanding display.
Florián Monzón opened the scoring in the 7th minute, finishing off a Godoy delivery. Platense thought they had levelled moments later through Gonzalo Lencina, but VAR correctly ruled the effort out for offside. Lucas Robertone then sealed the win three minutes into the second half, again set up by the influential Godoy — though the goal sparked debate over a second ball being on the pitch at the time of the assist.
The result keeps Vélez firmly atop Zone A on 22 points, still unbeaten after 11 rounds. Platense remain sixth with 14 points and will need to regroup quickly as the battle for playoff spots intensifies.
