Liga Núñez0 - 3La cuarta

Argentinos de Barracas arrived at Liga Núñez’s pitch and left with all three points in a match where the home side never found any answers. The 3-0 was emphatic, without room for debate: the visitors executed their plan efficiently while the hosts gradually fell apart. Both set-ups were similar on paper — two balanced 4-4-2s — but on the pitch the difference was enormous. Liga Núñez failed to build from the back, where Joaco Vidaurri tried to hold things together but was exposed time and again. Dante Zumpano, at 33, attempted to provide protection in midfield, but the flow of the match kept slipping through his fingers. Bruno Wieczorek ran down the left without finding any combinations to support him.

Dylan Ruffini set the compass for the match, the 19-year-old Brazilian defensive midfielder who arrived from Recife little more than a moment ago. With a rating of 8.1, he was Argentinos’ guiding force: he organised the lines, broke up transitions and, when he joined the attack, did so intelligently. He scored two goals that put a figure on the visitors’ superiority. Faustino Chaile, the 30-year-old full-back, was also outstanding out wide; Felipe Caparros in central midfield and Miguel Viva in defence completed a machine that advanced without haste but without respite.

Liga Núñez were left to react, without initiative or clear ideas. Their midfield disintegrated in the second half and the centre of their defence — with Vidaurri the steadiest figure — did not have enough to contain the physical and tactical stature of the Barracas side. It was the kind of defeat that leaves uncomfortable questions: this was not a bad day, but a difference in class. Argentinos remain near the top of the Primera I of GBA Oeste; Liga Núñez will have to rebuild quickly if they want to compete in this division.
