In terms of scoring efficiency, Estudiantes made efficient use of their opportunities, having 5 shots on target and converting 3 into goals - implying a conversion rate of 60%. This effectiveness in front of goal played a pivotal role in Estudiantes securing the maximum points at home. Sarmiento Junin, on the other hand, managed to get 3 shots on target and converted 2 into goals - indicating a conversion rate of 66.67%, however, the lesser number of shots on target than their rivals, led to ending up with fewer goals.

The Estudiantes goalkeeper played their role effectively, making 3 crucial saves to deny Sarmiento from adding to their 2 goals. Although the Sarmiento goalkeeper made more saves (5 in total), his efforts could not prevent Estudiantes from bagging home the victory.

Looking at the distribution of play, Estudiantes registered a larger number of corner kicks with 4, compared to Sarmiento’s 2. Corner kicks are often a good indicator of a team’s attacking threat, highlighting Estudiantes' more significant attacking possession.

In terms of discipline, both teams maintained decent decorum on the pitch, registering zero red and yellow cards. But when it comes to fouls, Estudiantes made more fouls (10) than Sarmiento (8), showing a more defensive approach. However, this did not affect the final outcome of the match.

Furthermore, Estudiantes also had more offsides than Sarmiento, showing their aggressive attacking style of play. It could be speculated that they were trying to breach Sarmiento's defensive line by playing a high line and also explains the higher number of shots.

In conclusion, excellent conversion efficiency and strong attacking presence from Estudiantes made the difference in this closely contended match against Sarmiento Junin. Despite fewer fouls and having a decent conversion rate, Sarmiento could not overcome their opponent's attacking prowess.
