Arsenal against Gimnasia was never likely to be a thriller and so it transpired, not that that will bother Martín Palermo and his side. Brahian Alemán’s powerfully struck shot on the brink of half time was one of the few bright moments in the match and extended Arsenal’s impressive home record. 5 wins and 2 draws inside El Viaducto gives them 17 of their 18 point total this season and so it is only this form in Sarandí that keeps them in midtable. On Sunday they welcome Independiente and so this record should be tested by the surprise title challengers.
