On the 20th of February, 2024, fans were treated with a keenly contested match at the Primera Nacional between Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza and CA San Telmo. Both teams played with determination, resulted in constant back and forth, which ultimately ended in a 1-1 tie.

Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza leveraged the home advantage in the early periods of the match, dictating the tempo thanks to their assertive approach. Interestingly, Mendoza's consistent pressure was mainly from set pieces, tallying up to 6 corner kicks compared to San Telmo's 4.

However, San Telmo's defensive solidity was commendable, especially, given that they were carded twice—one yellow card came early in the first half and the second in the mid second half, yet they managed to keep the home team at bay for a significant chunk of the match.

Indicator of Mendoza's aggressive attacking approach can be seen from their number of offsides. They were caught offside twice compared to Telmo's three times, indicating that they were constantly threatening Telmo's goal area.

In conclusion, the most significant factor that affected the outcome of this game was a combination of San Telmo's resilience despite playing with a numerical disadvantage after getting two yellow cards and Mendoza's continued pressure which yielded their goal from persistent attacks. This was indeed a match defined more by tactics, character, and grit than any individual brilliance.
