Banfield goalkeeper Facundo Altamirano spilled a long shot and Federico Girotti was on hand to turn past the goalkeeper and direct the ball goalwards. Canto tried to clear the ball off the line but he could only help to force the ball into the net.

Ayovi saves Estudiantes’ skin but point not enough
Jaime Ayovi salvaged a point for Estudiantes with a 96th minute equaliser as his side drew for the third game running to fall behind the top two in the table.
They rose to third in the table with the point after Lanus were beaten for the third time in four games but Estudiantes are now seven points behind River Plate after their 2-2 draw.
