Zahir Facundo Mansilla struck first for Newell’s Old Boys in the 33rd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Barracas Central was frustrated by Newell’s Old Boys’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board.

These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 draw apiece.
Newell’s Old Boys hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last five matches are Juan Sebastian Sforza and Jherson Mosquera Castro, and they each have 1 goal.
