Central de Belgrano R El Barrio took all three points at Belgrano’s ground in a sixth matchday that raised more questions than answers but ultimately proved fair for the home side. The 1-0 win over General Pueyrredón de Constitución came in a match where both teams deployed identical formations, 4-4-2, and similar mentalities, producing a tight game with little space, where efficiency ultimately proved decisive. Sebastian Aizpurúa, the veteran 33-year-old left-back from Comodoro Rivadavia, made the difference on the scoreboard and gave the home side some breathing room when they needed it most.
Central’s performance was solid without being overwhelming. Thiago Bargnesi, the 26-year-old right winger who arrived at Belgrano almost by chance years ago, was incisive on his flank and created a few dangerous situations that the visitors had to deal with carefully. Cacho Marín, a 29-year-old forward with experience in the higher divisions, kept moving but did not have too many clear opportunities to extend the lead. In midfield, Hernán Turetta, the youngest central midfielder in the squad at just 17, showed an understanding of the game but also the limitations that come with his age when it came to closing down spaces. Elías Lobos had to be careful in defence after being booked early on. For the visitors, Marcelo Sgarbi did a steady job at right-back but was unable to get forward effectively. Rocco Grasso, the 23-year-old goalkeeper, saved what he had to save, nothing exceptional.
The defeat hurts General Pueyrredón because the team was never inferior; they simply lacked that final yard of attacking clarity that decides evenly matched games. Oscar Bressan tried to be the organiser in midfield, but made misplaced passes that Belgrano knew how to exploit. For the home side, the win comes at just the right time in a part of the table where points matter. It was not a match to remember, but these are the ones that count.
