CA Platense secured a valuable 1-0 away victory over Vélez Sarsfield in the Argentine Primera División on January 29, 2025. The win at the Estadio José Amalfitani was a classic smash-and-grab performance from El Calamar, who defended resolutely and took their one big chance to stun the hosts. In a match where Vélez Sarsfield dominated possession and created more opportunities, Platense's organized defensive block proved impenetrable. Against the run of play, Platense scored what would be the decisive goal, likely from a set-piece or a swift counter-attack in the second half. Vélez poured forward in search of an equalizer but found the Platense goalkeeper in inspired form. This result was a major upset, providing a huge boost for Platense's survival hopes while dealing a blow to Vélez Sarsfield's early-season ambitions.
