Como3 - 0Indep. Villa Soldati

Club de Caballito Este were emphatic at home and swept aside Independiente Villa Soldati with a 3-0 win that leaves no doubt about who was superior on the pitch. It was a match where the home side kept their tactical balance without needing to take excessive risks, while the visitors never found a way to trouble Cesar Lewandowski, the nineteen-year-old young goalkeeper who had a quiet afternoon behind a well-set defence.

The match was decided by the performance of Ethan Montoya, the 34-year-old central midfielder who remains the compass of Caballitense's midfield. The Bahía Blanca-born player scored a goal and provided two assists, showing that experience is still a valuable currency in this division. With a balanced 4-4-2 set-up, Caballito Este found space through Fernando Casas on the right, while Pancho Vivenzio on the left flank did his job without any scares. Andrés Acosta in the centre of defence was solid, and the defence as a whole did not allow Alejandro Leyva and Marcelo Gallardo to create danger from the visitors' attacking line. Alan Salvatierra, who was booked, did not have his best day in Villa Soldati and was exposed by the opposition's display.

The visitors arrived without answers. The Soldati side opted for the same as Caballito Este: a balanced 4-4-2 which in theory should have produced a combative fixture. But the difference in execution was enormous. The home side took their chances, while Soldati's did not have them or failed to make the most of them. The result could have been bigger. For Caballito Este, this thrashing on matchday eight consolidates their momentum in Primera I - GBA Sur. For Villa Soldati, there was the bitter taste of a defeat that demands urgent self-criticism.
