Twenty-year-old striker Tempone came off the bench to score the decisive late winner as Independiente edged Riestra 2-1, sending the Rojo through to the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura.
Tempone had not started the match, but his impact was immediate once he entered the field. His goal, arriving in the closing stages, turned a tight contest in Independiente’s favour and secured a place in the next round.
A dream come true
Reflecting on the moment, Tempone said that something he had dreamed of many times had finally happened. For a young player still establishing himself, the goal represents a significant personal milestone.
Looking ahead, he made clear that the squad is ready for what comes next, signalling that Independiente intend to keep pushing deep into the tournament.
