Villa Devoto once again failed to score at home. Aurora and General Pueyrredón shared the points in a match where caution prevailed from the first minute, with two identical formations —both in 4-4-2— and balanced mentalities that ultimately cancelled each other out. The goalless draw was the logical result of a game in which neither side wanted to take too many risks, with few crosses from wide areas and no sign of attacking directness. The GBA Oeste Primera I remains a division for teams that would rather not lose than win, and this match was living proof of that maxim.
Aurora had a reliable centre-back in Coco Anasagasti, with a rating of 7.1, organising the lines from the back with the solidity of a player who has been developing at the club for years. Opposite him, General Pueyrredón fielded a midfield with several names to watch: Hector Rossini in support, Oscar Bressan at the heart of the midfield, Tomi Verdi on the right and Thiago Tello closing down the left flank. Rossini and Bressan shared a rating of 7.2, while Verdi picked up a booking without it affecting the course of the match. Nilo Artaza up front also received a rating of 7.2, but lacked the firepower to seriously trouble the home defence.
The match lacked intensity in the closing stages. Aurora failed to find any clarity in attack despite playing at home, while Pueyrredón were content not to give anything away. At 27, Thiago Tello continues to perform at the expected level in the visiting defence, containing the left flank without any scares. It was a grey Sunday in Villa Devoto, where two teams with similar ambitions and resources met and decided to share the spoils. For both, a point that adds little and takes little away in the battle for league positions.
