Match report
Real San Cristóbal Reserves came through without any real trouble against Mutual Abasto in a fixture that never offered much mystery. The home side's superiority was reflected in the final 3-1, a comfortable result that shows the difference in the approaches and, above all, in each team's finishing ability. Both sides lined up in a 4-4-2 with balanced mentality, but the home team made better use of their chances while the visitors barely threatened in attack.
Joaquín Castelli was San Cristóbal's main attacking weapon: the 34-year-old striker scored twice with a rating of 8.4, showing that experience remains a valuable asset in the reserves. His partner up front did his job as expected, with midfielders such as Lautaro Tabares actively involved in the play. Tabares scored the third goal and showed good judgement down the right over the ninety minutes. For Mutual Abasto, Brian Nieto pulled one back with a goal in which the visiting defensive system could do little, though he also picked up a yellow card that leaves him on alert. The midfielder grew in intensity as the fixture went on, but his team-mates did not back him up with enough precision in the build-up play.
San Cristóbal's defence, with Osvaldo Khouri in the centre at 22 years old and the experienced Rodolfo Recalde in midfield, held firm without much trouble. Valentino Calabrese on the left was a constant nuisance for the visitors' right flank. Mutual Abasto failed to establish themselves in midfield and when they did, their wingers lacked consistency. For the home side, this was the appropriate win against a weaker rival; for Abasto, there is plenty to review if they want to compete in this division.
