El Fortín de Villa Lugano left Parque Chacabuco with a battering that leaves no doubt about who was the better side on the afternoon. Three to six in the visitor's favour, a margin that perfectly sums up how this match on matchday 14 of Primera L GBA Sur unfolded. Both sides arrived with similar set-ups, balanced 4-4-2s, but El Fortín showed greater ruthlessness at the moments that mattered. El Tradicional had its moments, even netting three goals, but defensively it looked fragile and without the consistency to sustain what it did well.
Stefano Buti, the striker of just twenty years old, was the tormentor of the afternoon with two goals that laid bare the difference in attacking judgement. Leandro Stefani, the Mendoza centre-back of eighteen springs, also found the net and added an assist, showing unusual maturity for his age. For the home side, Stefano Trentin left his mark with a goal and an assist from midfield, while Aaron Greenberg contributed a goal and play from right-back, and Cataldo Villegas completed El Tradicional's trio of scorers. But the numbers are deceptive: three goals of their own were not enough against an opponent that found space with ease. Quique Schwartzman, the visiting central midfielder aged thirty-seven, held the pitch with authority and even picked up a yellow without losing his composure. In goal, Lionel Scarpinato was more decisive than his local counterparts.
El Tradicional of Parque Chacabuco is left needing to review its defence, because conceding six goals at home is a symptom that cannot be ignored, regardless of the fact it scored three. El Fortín, by contrast, is showing that it has a squad capable of competing at the top in this division, with youngsters who will contribute throughout the season and veterans who still have plenty to give.
