Estudiantes, in a cautious 4‑4‑2, struggled to contain the overlapping runs of Morón’s full‑backs. The opener came in the 27th minute when striker Franco Coronel headed home from a pinpoint cross by right‑back Agustín García.

Morón doubled their lead just after the hour mark. A quick counter‑attack saw winger Emilio Zelaya cut inside from the left and unleash a curling shot that nestled into the far corner. Estudiantes offered little in response, mustering only one shot on target throughout the match.

Estudiantes de Caseros remained on 34 points, now seven points adrift of the play‑off places with only a handful of games left. For Morón, the result was a statement of intent in the race for promotion.

Tactical Analysis

Morón’s high‑energy press effectively smothered Estudiantes’ build‑up play. The midfield trio of Villalba, Juan Cruz Kaprof, and Enzo Silcan won the second‑ball battles, allowing rapid transitions. Estudiantes’ attempts to play long balls forward were easily dealt with by the home centre‑backs, Matías Núñez and Franco Lazzaroni.

Coach Néstor Ferraresi praised his team’s discipline: “We executed the game plan perfectly. We knew they would sit back, so we needed patience and width. The second goal came at the perfect time to kill the game.” For Estudiantes, the focus now turns to halting their slide down the table.
