Tuyutense Futbol Club0 - 3FC Varela

Mutual Mataderos came to San Telmo and left with a drubbing that leaves no room for doubt over who was superior on the pitch. The 3-0 final score is merely a reflection of what was seen over the ninety minutes, where the visiting side found the space needed to punish a home defence that failed to hold the line or maintain concentration. El Vencedor de San Telmo set out to play in balance in their 4-4-2, but Mutual Mataderos arrived with the same shape and knew how to make far better attacking use of it.

The home centre-backs had a day to forget. José Bonansea, the experienced 29-year-old centre-back who grew up on the Patagonian plateau and joined the club after shining in the reserves, ended up booked and beaten in several actions. His team-mate Maicol Simionato, ten years younger, also could not contain the opposition forwards' attacks. Pedro Arrigorriaga on the right side tried to do his bit, but was exposed on several occasions. The problem was systemic: Mutual Mataderos found consistency in attack while El Vencedor de San Telmo did not generate any danger in the opposition box.

On the visitors' side, centre-backs Brian Velez and Lolo Schneider were a wall. Velez, 26, had a standout match with a 7.6 rating, winning every aerial duel and cutting out the few chances created by the home side. Schneider, the 33-year-old veteran who learned precision in the oil company's workshops, was as solid as ever. The Mutual Mataderos defensive line was practically untroubled. At the attacking end, the visitors found the efficiency that was missing from the home team. Nazareno Bartoli, the 30-year-old goalscorer who rose to fame in a neighbourhood friendly in Resistencia, was decisive throughout the match. Yoel Zambrano also shone, the Brazilian forward who arrived by chance at an Argentine pitch and scored one of the three goals. Camilo Ruffini, the 25-year-old Brazilian left-back who keeps worn-out boots from his childhood in Recife, also scored and was shown a yellow card at the end of the match.

The difference in rating between the teams was clear. Mutual Mataderos' defenders ranged between 7.2 and 7.6, while El Vencedor de San Telmo's did not go beyond 6.6. That gap of almost a full point was reflected in the emphatic result. The visiting side controlled the tempo, made the most of the spaces and was lethal in front of goal. El Vencedor de San Telmo never found a way to unsettle their rivals or create clear chances. It was a match where the greater individual quality of the side that came from away ended up being decisive. A clear defeat in Primera L-GBA Norte that leaves the home side with work to do from here on.
