La Gloria de Liniers beat El Tradicional de Parque Avellaneda in a match where both sides opted for the safe route, with no great appetite for risk. The goal came from Polaco Bonincontro from the right flank, who once again showed why he remains effective in these tiers of GBA football. It was not a match to remember for its quality, but the home side knew how to manage the timing and punish their visitors when they were left exposed. In Primera L - GBA Norte, on matchday 3, La Gloria displayed that balanced mindset which allowed them to hold firm without too much trouble and make the most of the space the opposition gave away.
Tomi Paz, the centre-back of just seventeen, came through without any scares in the home defence. What seems like little is exactly what this competition demands at these latitudes: a defender who gives nothing away. His teammate Antonio Izquierdo, more experienced at twenty-nine, had to cut out the odd attack from Ismael Brunelli, the visiting striker who never quite got into the game, with a 6.7 rating that neatly reflects his performance. Isaac Mata picked up a yellow on the left flank and was cautious after the booking. Yago Villari, with thirty years on the clock but still useful, organised the midfield without standing out.
El Tradicional de Parque Avellaneda tried but failed to produce an attacking plan that caused concern. León Hartmann and Ismael Steinberg on the flanks did their defensive job, though without the precision needed to build from the back. Avellaneda lacked oxygen in midfield, that link which turns defence into attack at this level. La Gloria take three deserved points, nothing to celebrate but everything to make use of in a division where the margins are tight and collecting points is the only thing that matters.
