Match report
Defensores de San Cristóbal Centro left no doubts in the afternoon in GBA Oeste. Three unanswered goals against La Gloria de Boedo made for a result that speaks of two squads in very different moments. The home side managed the tempo with the composure that comes from playing at home, while the visitors never found a way to create any real danger in attack. Both teams set up the same on paper, two banks of four plus midfielders, but the execution was radically different.
Benicio Guerra, Tito Argento and Cris Buscaglia scored Defensores' goals. The midfielder from Comodoro Rivadavia did the dirty work in the middle of the pitch, anticipating moves with the precision that defines him. Argento, the Mendoza full-back aged just twenty-four, made the most of his attacking forays with good judgement. And Buscaglia, who arrived at the club almost by accident, reaffirmed why he remains a reference up front. Bauti Santoro and Bastian Zucconi shut down lanes without breaking sweat; the Argentine centre-back and the Brazilian full-back, both with a 7.7 rating, made their presence felt without any fuss. Zucconi, who knows the trade after spells with teams in his country, read the game with calm authority.
La Gloria de Boedo were exposed at the back. Walter Hoffmann, the nineteen-year-old goalkeeper, was not at fault for the goals but his side left him exposed too many times. Ramón Tévez, the Uruguayan holding midfielder of thirty-one, was unable to contain the home side's attacking flow. Lucho Pereyra, the Catamarca playmaker, also could not turn his intentions into clean play. For the visitors, this defeat in GBA Oeste sounds like a clear warning: things need reviewing before the points become an impossible debt to pay.
