Ferro Pompeya2 - 2AD Recoleta

Ferro Pompeya and AD Recoleta shared the points in a match where both showed tactical clarity but lacked the cutting edge to finish things off. The 2-2 draw at Pompeya's pitch was the outcome of a contest in which both teams' 4-4-2 formations produced a constant end-to-end game, without either side managing to impose themselves with authority. It was a match full of goals, yes, but also of mistakes at key moments that left both managers feeling they had dropped points.

Marcelo Baldelli opened the scoring for the home side with the composure that characterises him at 24, while Cris Viardot, the 32-year-old veteran who arrived at Ferro almost by chance a decade ago, added the second. Experienced full-back Wilfredo Vitale, still active in the home defence at 31, played a part in creating attacks. At the other end, AD Recoleta responded with goals from Augusto Vázquez, the 22-year-old youngster who is continuing to develop, and Marcelo Zanini, who showed from centre-back that he could push forward under pressure. Jonathan Mariño, Recoleta's striker who has only just turned 21, played a key role in the assist that levelled the score. Tito Ibarra, the 22-year-old home centre-back, bore some responsibility for the chances allowed by the visitors.

The match made it clear that both squads have players with ability, but lack that dose of consistency in the defensive details. For Ferro, the home draw hurts more; for Recoleta, the away point is useful, although it could have been more. At this stage of Primera I GBA Oeste, on matchday 15, these attacking disagreements ultimately become points slipping away towards the final stages, where the mathematics becomes ruthless.
