Gimnasia La Plata season updates

Entities: Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata · Silvana Villalobos · Nelson Haedo Valdez · Leandro Rey Hilfer · Ángel Correa

Overview

Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata opened the 2026 Torneo Clausura with a 0‑0 draw against Unión on 15 July under new manager Hernán Lisi before traveling to Instituto for the second round.

On 29 July the club hosted River Plate at the Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo. River, on a two‑match losing streak, fielded a lineup announced by coach Eduardo Coudet. Gimnasia’s Alexis Steimbach scored the only goal, giving the home side a 1‑0 victory. The defeat marked River’s third loss of the season and deepened their crisis at the bottom of Zone B. The match left River with three first‑team injuries – left‑back Marcos Acuña (hamstring), forward Ángel Correa (thigh) and midfielder Mauro Arambarri (ankle) – and prompted Coudet to warn that the squad “does not give time nor margin,” signalling the need for significant signings. The game was broadcast live on ESPN Premium and River’s next league test is an away match at Rosario Central, a fixture seen as pivotal for Coudet’s tenure.

Calls grew for the reinstatement of veteran defender Germán Pezzella as the club seeks to stabilise its defensive line.
