Pompeya and Liga Recoleta shared the points in a match where both sides respected each other from the outset, with neither daring to take too many risks. The 1-1 draw was fair enough overall, though each had moments to tip the balance their way. On a pitch that favoured even football, both teams fielded identical 4-4-2 shapes and went for balance rather than adventure, which led to a contest where the goals were valuable enough not to give any more away.
Gael Milán opened the scoring for Pompeya with a goal that seemed to put the home side in control of the result. At 28, the Bahía Blanca striker remains the team’s main attacking reference, and on this occasion he once again showed his knack for being in the right place at the right time. However, Manuel Roldán quickly replied for Liga Recoleta, levelling a match that had started to tilt towards the home crowd. The Tucumán midfielder, now 28, showed the experience needed to seize an opportunity in the box. Adolfo Gigena, Pompeya’s centre-back, picked up a booking during the match, while Leonardo Bonechi contributed from deep with an assist that showed that even in defence, Pompeya’s youngsters can be decisive. Xavier Artola, at 36, was the brains of Liga Recoleta in right midfield and completed the assist that enabled his side to avoid defeat.
The result leaves both teams unable to break clear in the table, stuck in an awkward position where they need wins to breathe. Pompeya could not make the most of home advantage, while Liga Recoleta at least did its job away from home by avoiding defeat. Heading into the next matchday, both will know that draws spare no one.
