El Galpón de Flores claimed a golden win on the pitch of Sportivo Núñez Sur on matchday 1 of the Primera F porteña, with a 2-1 scoreline that felt fair in an afternoon where both sides put forward their case, but the visitors were more clinical when it mattered. Each side's 4-4-2 formation guaranteed tactical balance, although the home team could not contain the attacks of the men who came from outside the city.
Sportivo Núñez Sur had their moments. Lionel Vigevani, the 29-year-old Chilean full-back who has spent years in the region, got on the scoresheet with a goal that seemed to put the home side on the right path. Federico Salvini, the 28-year-old Argentine midfielder, provided the assist and did what was expected of him in midfield. But the effort was not enough when El Galpón de Flores pressed with everything it had. Leandro Castellanos, the 27-year-old Brazilian left-back from Porto Alegre, scored one of the visitors' goals with defensive precision turned into attack. Santi Fontana, that 32-year-old right midfielder who knows Patagonian football like few others, scored the goal that sealed it for his side. Diego Avallone in the visitors' goal, the 32-year-old Argentine goalkeeper who has been at this for decades, did not need to pull off miracles but was there when it mattered.
The standout moment was the emergence of Román Peñaloza, a striker of just 17 born in Comodoro Rivadavia who plays for El Galpón de Flores with a rating of 7.6. The youngster showed poise and presence in the box, while Patricio Silvestri, the 23-year-old playmaker from Mendoza, knitted together the visitors' attacking play. El Galpón de Flores deserved to take all three points. Sportivo Núñez Sur will have to regroup quickly.
