Reservas Floresta came away with a cracker of a match that could have been even more comfortable were it not for the late nerves. At Floresta's pitch, the home side beat General Güemes de Balvanera 3-2 in a fixture in which both squads understood they had to go on the attack. The balanced 4-4-2 line-ups put forward by both managers ended up being little more than a statement of intent: what unfolded on the pitch was a constant end-to-end contest, with not much being given away defensively. Julián Rosati, the winger who is only sixteen, was the star of the afternoon for the home side: he scored one and set up another, showing that knack for upsetting the opposition which marks out youngsters with hunger. Felipe Loiacono in Floresta's goal had to be alert on more than one occasion, although he did pick up a yellow card for rushing out too far.
The visitors arrived with Máximo Rastelli and Xavier Saade leading the line, two footballers who never gave up at any point. Both found the net, and Rastelli, at thirty-one, showed he still has the tactical sharpness of someone who refuses to accept defeat. Gabriel Berman was also important in the build-up play, while Octavio Klein tried to provide cover from midfield, though without much success. Rodolfo Zito, the experienced home midfielder aged thirty-four, was the backbone of Floresta in midfield, setting the tempo when necessary. Máximo Garay in the home back line and the whole defensive system of the hosts struggled with the visitors' attacking intensity, but in the end they held firm.
General Güemes's frustration is understandable: they had chances for more, but Floresta knew how to shut the game down when they had to. With this victory, the home side are closing in on the upper reaches of the table in Primera L GBA Oeste, while the Balvanera side will have to rethink some attacking aspects that left them exposed at the back.
