Real Abasto Reserves and C. and Barrio Parque Centenario shared the points in a match where both teams arrived with similar approaches and finished content with the draw. The final 1-1 reflected a tight contest, with few alarms, where neither side managed to impose superiority. At Real Abasto's pitch, the hosts opened the scoring through a goal from Salvador Pollini, the 27-year-old central midfielder who has been becoming a key piece in midfield, while Ethan Lara, the experienced 34-year-old visiting forward, had the job of restoring balance from Parque Centenario's attack.
The intensity of the match was moderate. Both 4-4-2 set-ups and the balanced mentality of the two managers produced a game where the transitions were the most interesting aspect. Pollini was the one who had the biggest influence in the first half, winning duels in the middle area, while for the visitors it was Oliverio Borrelli who created the most from attack. The 22-year-old midfielder provided an important assist and picked up a yellow card for his active involvement. Lara, despite being 34, kept his tactical concentration and arrived at the right moment to score the equaliser, showing that he can still be lethal in the box.
Real Abasto had more of the ball over the course of the match, as expected playing at home, but could not make the most of clear advantages. Parque Centenario were more direct, less fluent, but effective defensively. Polaco Veneziani at left-back for the visitors did a solid job, while Esteban Peñaloza, the 23-year-old home forward, could not take his chances. At the end, both sides left content with a point, although Real Abasto felt they had left something on the pitch.
