Sportivo Flores Sur0 - 0Club de Floresta Este

Sportivo Flores Sur and Club de Floresta Este shared the points in a match that summed up with precision what both teams had been showing in Primera L de CABA: well-organised sides, with no pretence of getting the blood racing, who manage the game rather than go after it. The 0-0 was fair, though on a pitch where the home side had the advantage of playing at home, that edge never translated into any clear-cut danger. Two identical line-ups, two balanced mindsets, and the result that naturally followed from that: a drab match where nobody wanted to lose but nobody really dared to win.

Alfredo Saliba was the most interesting thing the home midfield offered. The 26-year-old central midfielder, in the best physical shape of his life, had a discreet but tidy presence, and his 7.1 rating reflects that: dependable without any sparkle. In attack, Adriano Bernardo, the 20-year-old youngster who arrived at Flores Sur after coming up through the lower pitches, was off the mark. He had the responsibility of creating danger and did not live up to it. For the visitors, Quique Zacarías in goal was decisive at the moments that mattered, with that 7.1 rating which marks him out as a youngster with a future. At 17, the man from Mendoza is already putting up a fight in serious divisions.

What was clear is that Sportivo Flores Sur wasted the chance to make the most of home advantage. A team playing at home should have shown more ambition, more impetus in the final twenty metres. The goalless draw leaves the hosts with no significant progress in the table. For Floresta Este, by contrast, taking a point away from home is never a bad thing, though it does not mean much in a league where there is still plenty to play for. Matchday 7 and both teams remain in that liminal space of lower-division Argentine football: competitive, disciplined, but without that extra something that sets those who move forward apart from those who stall.

In the last meeting between Sportivo Flores Sur and Club de Floresta Este: 1 win for Sportivo Flores Sur, 0 draws and 0 for Club de Floresta Este.
