Facundo Suárez's goal was a significant moment in the match, securing a 1-0 victory for Instituto. The team, led by coach Diego Flores, has been a revelation in the Clausura, winning four of their five games in the zone and leading with 12 points.
Suárez's return to the pitch has been a remarkable story. He joined Instituto in 2024 but suffered a serious injury, rupturing his cruciate ligaments in February 2025. He then suffered a relapse of the injury in September 2025, forcing him to undergo an additional eight months of rehabilitation. Suárez finally returned to play on July 24, 2026, after a year and five months away from the pitch.
Suárez's goal was his ninth in 47 games for Instituto. After the match, Suárez expressed his emotions, thinking about his family and the difficult moments he faced during his injury layoff. He had considered giving up playing football due to the prolonged absence.
Instituto have won four of their five games in the Clausura zone A. Their next match is yet to be confirmed, but they will look to build on their current momentum in the Clausura zone A.
