Club de Floresta Este2 - 1Atlético Villa Devoto FC

Club de Floresta Este beat Atlético Villa Devoto in a match that had more tension than spectacle, on matchday 19 of the Primera L de CABA. The 2-1 result fairly reflects what the game was: a deserved home win, with the hosts making the most of their moments of sharpness against a visiting side that arrived with intent but without the finishing touch needed to take anything back from the Floresta neighbourhood. Both sides opted for a similar tactical balance, with their 4-4-2s well organised, which promised an even contest where the details would ultimately prove decisive.

Floresta Este found in Elías Stankovic an important partner in midfield, showing that character often associated with someone who has grown up in environments where football is the only way out. The Uruguayan, 24, and rated 7.7, was at the heart of much of the side's play, winning duels in the middle of the park and starting transitions. On the right, Camilo Zacchei had a relentless afternoon of work, although his yellow card at a difficult moment in the match forced him to rein in his attacking surges. Ángel Irala, the experienced 28-year-old forward, was present in the areas where the team created danger, though it was not an afternoon of fireworks but of useful presence.

For the visitors, Pichu Vigevani, Villa Devoto's forward who scored the consolation goal at 26, had moments when he looked dangerous. His goal came when the visiting side was pushing hard, and he managed to bring down balls that forced Quique Zacarías into action more than once. The young goalkeeper, just 17 and rated 7.4, showed composure in the home side's net, without making any glaring errors. Pepe Krause, Villa Devoto's right-back, 26, provided an assist that showed the visitors had not come merely to defend, but had intended to threaten going forward.

The goals were not described in detail in terms of the preceding moves, but the truth is that Floresta Este managed to convert two chances while Villa Devoto scored one. Ramón Anasagasti, the 28-year-old midfielder rated 7.1, did his job in managing the game, helping the side maintain coherence in its patterns of play. Both teams' balanced mindset produced a scrappy match, with space at a premium and chances arriving sparingly.

Floresta Este's victory was deserved for its ability to stay focused at the end, when Villa Devoto were pressing for the equaliser. It was not an overwhelming display nor a showpiece of attractive football, but it was a Primera L match where the details and the finishing touch ended up separating the sides. For the hosts, three points to boost their campaign; for Villa Devoto, unfinished business in converting chances.
