Key Moments

Nobody led. That is the swing that never came. There was no comeback because there was no deficit, and no late winner because the net stayed empty through stoppage time.

Barracas Central's shot count was the one clear advantage that failed to decide the night. Fourteen attempts to six looked like control of the attacking third, but only two of those shots were on target, against one for Tigre. Volume without accuracy is why the visitors did not leave with three points.

Expected goals pointed the same way. Barracas Central's 0.56 and Tigre's 0.27 were both low, so the 0-0 fit the quality of the attempts as much as the quantity.
