The goalless draw between Barracas Central and Tigre was a balanced game, with neither team really converting either of its two chances. Tigre had more possession of the ball (55%, against 45%) and created more clear opportunities (10 attempts on goal, 3 on target), in the first half. But in turn, Barracas Central attempted to respond, though they struggled to be incisive, with only 1 shot on target in 6 attempts.
