On Monday, under the guidance of Eduardo DomÃnguez, the team secured a 2-0 victory with goals from Cetré and Correa, although they faced a tough challenge towards the end in their first home game since clinching the title.
Estudiantes defeated Deportivo Riestra 2-0 on Monday at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium for the second round of the 2024 Professional League, thanks to a penalty goal from Cetré and a goal from Correa. The Pincha played their first home game since winning the Copa de la Liga title and although they struggled at times, they managed to seal the win in the end against the team from Bajo Flores.
Before the start of the match, Riestra honored the reigning champions of Argentine football by forming a guard of honor for Estudiantes as they entered the pitch for their first home game after their victory over Vélez in the final. The match proved to be a challenging one for the Platense side, as the team from Bajo Flores is known for being strong and tenacious. Despite not performing at their best, Eduardo DomÃnguez's men managed to take the lead just before halftime, with Cetré converting a penalty at the 42nd minute. Espinoza didn't hesitate to award the penalty after Murillo's handball, and the Colombian for Estudiantes decided to chip it past Arce, sparking some heated exchanges between players that the referee resolved with yellow cards.
In the second half, Estudiantes continued to struggle to find their rhythm, and they even faced a flurry of attacks from Deportivo Riestra in search of an equalizer. Milton Céliz even celebrated what seemed like a goal at the 21st minute, but it was disallowed for offside. The Pinchas' nerves were finally calmed almost at the end of the game, as Javier Correa scored the second goal when the clock hit the 90-minute mark, igniting celebrations at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium. After the match, the club had already planned a celebration with the fans for the new title won in Santiago del Estero.
