CR Parque Patricios3 - 0Ferro Pompeya

Parque Patricios showed no mercy. Against a Ferro Pompeya side that arrived in the GBA West Primera I without answers, the hosts displayed a superiority that translated into a commanding 3-0 victory on matchday 16. Two identical formations on paper, both lining up in a 4-4-2 with a balanced mentality, but their execution was worlds apart. The home side found space where the visitors saw only walls, and goals from Chino Rossini, Axel Valli and Ezequiel Rotondi put the finishing touch to a match that was never competitive.

Milton Serpa, the 22-year-old full-back who inherited the trade in Patagonia, put in a solid, untroubled defensive performance. But the team’s true anchor was Tomás Vidaurri in central midfield, who at 31 remains Parque Patricios’ tactical engine. Vidaurri was booked for impatience, but his reading of the game was impeccable. Up front, Rotondi and Rossini made their experience count against a Ferro side that could not catch its breath. Valli, a 31-year-old centre-back with a 7.2 rating, contributed from the back with a goal to boot, showing that age at Parque Patricios is not synonymous with decline.

Joaco Rondinelli in the visitors’ goal could do little against the opponent’s attacking volume. The 30-year-old goalkeeper faced a team that knew how to manage its superiority without needing to dazzle. Cris Viardot and Alexis Romagnoli, both rated 6.5, tried to make things happen from midfield and the flanks, but Ferro failed to turn its presence into danger. With this victory, Parque Patricios establish themselves in the upper reaches of the table, while the visitors will have to urgently review their attacking setup to avoid sinking further down the standings.

In the last meeting between CR Parque Patricios and Ferro Pompeya: 0 wins for CR Parque Patricios, 0 draws and 1 for Ferro Pompeya.
