Sportivo Flores Norte took the victory from San Telmo with a win they earned the hard way in a match where both sides went after what they wanted without much fuss. The final 2-1 sums up an afternoon of balanced football, where Primera I de GBA Norte served up a tight encounter in which the details made the difference. El Porvenir de San Telmo had their chance through Antonio Couto's goal, the 23-year-old Bahía-born centre-back who found a way from the back to get into the away box, but it was not enough to avoid defeat. The balanced mindset of both squads ensured a match without any major imbalances, with neither side willing to expose themselves too much.
The goals for Sportivo Flores Norte came from Tito Bettega and Vidal Filippa, both with their share of responsibility in an away attack that proved lethal when it mattered. Bettega, the 28-year-old Mendoza-born playmaker who is already approaching his peak, was decisive with his ability to read the game. Filippa, the right winger from Comodoro Rivadavia with that distinctive scar on his eyebrow, carried out his runs without too much elaboration but with efficiency. Brian Ferrari, the Brazilian central midfielder still only 22, provided an assist that showed his versatility despite a rating that places him among the dependable performers. In goal, Adolfo Bengoetxea, the ambidextrous Bahía-born goalkeeper of Flores Norte, responded when needed with ordinary but sufficient reflexes, while Ethan Rainoldi at away centre-back completed his match with a yellow card but without surrendering too many clear chances.
For El Porvenir, there is the bitter taste of a home defeat that hurts more than the scoreline suggests. matchday 14 slips away from them and with it, the hope of getting into qualification spots.
