Pompeya took a straightforward win on Sportivo Flores Sur’s pitch, with a 3-1 scoreline that reflects the gulf in class between both squads on matchday 6 of the Primera L de CABA. The away side played tidy football, without needing to take excessive risks, making the most of the space left by a home side that tried to compete but lacked the resources to keep up the tempo. It was two teams who set up in balanced 4-4-2 systems, but Pompeya found a way to impose its game in the areas that mattered: midfield and finishing. The score could have been even more emphatic had it not been for a few defensive flashes from Sportivo Flores Sur in the closing stages.
Lito Urquiza was the man of the match, scoring two goals with the efficiency of someone who has been in the trade for thirty-two years and still has an appetite for it. The Bahía Blanca winger delivered with precision every time Pompeya put the ball into the right areas for him; his experience showed in his reading of the game and in how he positioned himself to receive in profitable spaces. Bautista Peñaloza gave Flores Sur something to respond with, scoring a goal that showed a bit of life, even if in the overall context it was not enough. Mariano Brignole, the midfielder who is only seventeen and arrived at Flores Sur almost without warning, provided an assist that showed the youngster has something about him, although his side’s overall performance was more about holding on than taking the initiative. At Pompeya, Néstor Vianello shifted the lines from midfield intelligently, while Sergio Zapata was solid down the left flank.
Pompeya’s comfortable win confirms that this is a side of a different calibre at this stage of the season. Sportivo Flores Sur are left with the clear task of bouncing back; they have youngsters like Brignole who deserve minutes, but they need more craft in attack. For Pompeya, it is about keeping the points coming without drama; sensible football is bringing them results, and in the Primera L de CABA, that is enough for now.
