Sarmiento claimed a comfortable 2–0 victory over Aldosivi in the Liga Profesional de Fútbol on 22 March 2026, extending their winning momentum with a disciplined and well-organised performance. The hosts controlled the tempo at the Estadio Eva Perón from an early stage, pressing high and limiting their visitors to very little in the way of clear-cut opportunities throughout the opening exchanges.
The turning point arrived just before the interval, when Cristian Zabala broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time to send Sarmiento into the break with a deserved lead. That goal settled any nerves and allowed the home side to manage the second half with greater composure, their defensive shape remaining compact and difficult to penetrate as Aldosivi searched for a way back into the contest.
The visitors struggled to create sustained pressure and rarely threatened to level things up, with Sarmiento's midfield doing excellent work to screen the back four and cut off supply lines. As Aldosivi committed men forward in the closing stages in search of a route back, Sarmiento punished them on the counter, with Junior Marabel sealing the three points in the 86th minute to confirm a fully merited clean sheet.
The result leaves Aldosivi with plenty to reflect on, while Sarmiento will head into their next Liga Profesional fixture with confidence riding high. If you want to test your football instincts before the next kick-off, head to CalledItMate and put your predictions to the test in real time.
