La Gloria de Boedo fell at home against N. Estrella Flores, with a goal from Adrián Haddad that made the difference in a fixture where both sides set up in similar systems but the visitors executed their spaces better. The final 0-1 sums up a tight contest, one of those games where the ball moved around without creating clear, constant danger and where one detail, one lapse, ended up being decisive. Haddad took advantage of a loose clearance from the home side and finished with precision. For La Gloria it was a frustrating night, with their own mistakes doing more damage than the opponent’s superiority.
Walter Hoffmann, the young nineteen-year-old goalkeeper who looks after the home goal, could do nothing about the goal but he also had no major interventions to rescue his display from scrutiny. In the centre of the visitors’ defence, Thiago Jiménez and Joel Moya kept a permanent order, reading the Boedo side’s movements without difficulty. Lucho Pereyra, the home attacking midfielder at twenty-eight with experience on the pitch, did not find the space he needed to become a decisive force. Ramón Tévez, the Uruguayan, aged thirty-one, in central midfield, did his job but it was not enough to counter the dynamism Claudio Altzaga brought from the visitors’ midfield, where he also provided the assist for the goal.
For La Gloria this defeat hurts because the game was there to be won. It was not a thrashing, it was not a robbery. It was a home stumble that, in a matchday twelve where there is still plenty to play for, can serve as a wake-up call. N. Estrella Flores leave satisfied, having taken three away points from an opponent who gave them nothing. That is what counts in Primera L: winning when the chance comes along, even if it is by a single goal in a tight fixture.
