Club Atlético Santa Rosa1 - 0Sportivo Belgrano R Norte

Pompeya beat Sportivo Belgrano R Norte with a goal that proved to be the difference in a match where both sides set up with the same tactical shape, 4-4-2, and an even-minded approach that produced few thrills but plenty of defensive order. The home side took the victory on matchday 13 of the Primera L de CABA, confirming that sometimes in football all you need is to give nothing away and wait for the precise moment to strike.

The match unfolded at the restrained tempo imposed by a pitch where nobody wants to be left exposed. Pompeya had Luciano Werner and Néstor Vianello as their main cogs in midfield, with the former picking up a yellow card during the ninety minutes. In the away side’s ranks, Alberto Braun tried to create something from midfield for Belgrano, but he too ended up booked. Gabriel Santamaría, the sixteen-year-old youngster who plays at right-back, fulfilled a solid role in defence, showing that maturity that youngsters sometimes have when they grow up in settings that force them to grow quickly. Sergio Zapata on the other flank also shut down the spaces well. In the away defence, Stefano Resa and Kiki Arrarte did what they could, although the young sixteen-year-old centre-back felt the weight of the match in several passages.

The only goal came without any need for fireworks. Pompeya managed their resources well and when the chance came they did not miss it. Sportivo Belgrano R Norte never managed to put together a sustained attack and their defensive traits were not enough to prevent the goal. Antonio Rastelli, the central midfielder, was key in stopping the attempts to build play in the away midfield. The match ended with that uncomfortable feeling for Belgrano: they played, they were not superior, and they went home with nothing.
