In the match between Estudiantes La Plata and Boca Juniors on 27 August 2024, both teams ended up sharing the spoils with a 1-1 draw. Boca Juniors opened the scoring in the second half at 51:45, and Estudiantes La Plata equalized at 79:10. Statistically, Boca Juniors had a more aggressive approach with 11 fouls compared to Estudiantes' 8, and this aggression translated into Boca receiving two yellow cards and eventually a red card, which significantly impacted their performance.

Boca Juniors' attacking intent was clear with a higher number of corner kicks (8 compared to Estudiantes' 3), signifying more time spent in the offensive third. This elevated offensive play, however, did not translate into a substantial lead and allowed Estudiantes to peg them back. Boca's discipline suffered, receiving two yellow cards within a span of less than two minutes and a subsequent red card, reducing their capability to defend their lead effectively.

Estudiantes demonstrated better in-game adjustments through effective use of their substitutions. The home side's offsides count (3) perhaps reflects a high-risk, high-reward offensive strategy, contrasting with Boca's zero offsides, indicating a more controlled but ultimately less explosive attacking approach once they were down a man. The goal by Estudiantes at 79:10 came after sustained pressure as Boca Juniors struggled to maintain defensive solidity post sending-off.

Teamwork was critical for both sides, but Estudiantes' ability to adapt post-red card, while keeping errors in check, allowed them to equalize. The match was a testament to how key moments, such as disciplined in-game behavior and the execution of set pieces like corner kicks, can pivot the outcome, especially in a balanced competition like the Liga Profesional.
