Argentinos Juniors drew 0-0 with Barracas Central at the Claudio Fabián Tapia stadium, allowing them to continue leading Zone B of the Clausura Tournament.
In a match held during the eighth round of the tournament, excitement was scarce. Hernán López Muñoz tried to be the driving force for the visiting team, with a shot that went just wide of the goal. Later, a strike from Kevin Coronel forced Marcelo Miño to take action.
Meanwhile, Barracas Central responded with a shot from Tomás Porra, which was also saved by Brayan Cortés. Despite some chances at the end of the match, such as Vicente Taborda’s shot that was close to giving the home team the win, the score remained at zero.
