N. Estrella Flores and Federación Pompeya shared the spoils in a match where both sides lined up with the same tactical idea, but without the composure needed to break the deadlock. The 1-1 draw was fair enough, although the home side were left with the feeling they had more to offer in the final stretch. In a fixture corresponding to the sixth matchday of the Primera L of the GBA Oeste, neither side managed to come out on top, and the draw left few satisfied.
Raúl Retegui opened the scoring for N. Estrella Flores with a goal that gave the team a chance to dream of victory. The seventeen-year-old striker, developed in the neighbourhoods of Merlo, showed the hunger characteristic of someone who still has everything to play for in football. His 7.2 rating reflected a solid performance, though it was not enough to hold on to the lead. Marcelo Zappa, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder from Rosario, also had a good game with the same rating, but found no space to create that extra bit of work that makes the difference. For the visitors, Lucas Baragiola levelled things up with a goal that gave Federación Pompeya a lift in the closing minutes, rescuing a point that seemed lost. The central midfielder from Comodoro Rivadavia showed why he maintains a 7.2 rating, with a precise finish when it was needed most.
What stood out was the contribution of Negro Bartoli from N. Estrella Flores' right flank. At thirty, the experienced defender still has enough in the tank to contribute defensively, although a yellow card limited his attacking involvement, having already set up Retegui. On the opposite flank, Ignacio Branca handled his marking well without any scares, doing his job at twenty-six. Yamil Zindato, just a seventeen-year-old teenager in the home goal, remained alert without needing to pull off any memorable saves. By the end, both sides took a point as consolation, but N. Estrella Flores left two behind for failing to make the most of their greater control in the closing stages.
