Match report

Club de Caballito Este did not come to Def. Agronomía Centro to make up the numbers. Away from home from the first minute, executing a clear idea, methodical in the press and ruthless in front of goal. They left La Matanza with a 3-1 rout that leaves no room for interpretation: they were superior, full stop. Two 4-4-2 line-ups balanced on paper; on the pitch, the Caballito Este side found the spaces the home team failed to close, and they punished them clinically.

Emanuel Caggiano was the catalyst. With a rating of 8.1, the Tucumán attacking midfielder scored twice and drove the match from an area of influence Def. Agronomía Centro never managed to nullify. His link-up play with Yanis Boldini — a 29-year-old centre-back who also scored — created disorder in the home defence. Boldin, at 29, is playing at his best: a headed goal in the box, constant presence, that sort of centre-back who sorts things out in silence. Ivo Allende, a midfielder of just 23 with a rating of 6.5, provided an assist and did the holding role without being spectacular. Fernando Casas on the right also showed good judgement in transitions. Cesar Lewandowski, a 19-year-old goalkeeper, had little to do but was secure when needed.

For the home side, Vicente Zubeldía scored from midfield, the kind of player who is there, available, who pops up when the ball arrives. Rating 7.2, 30 years old: that career midfielder built step by step. Yair Spinelli, a 26-year-old striker with a rating of 6.2, provided an assist but went off with a yellow card, symptomatic of a match where Agronomía Centro were on the back foot for longer than they would have wanted. Tactical balance that was not enough: Caballito Este were more incisive, clearer in their aims. For Agronomía Centro, there is the weight of a defeat that hurts more because it was at home, because they played without being clearly inferior but certainly less precise.
