Sportivo Once Norte stepped onto the Provincia de Flores pitch with the tactical clarity that Prov. Flores were unable to counter. Both teams set up in a balanced 4-4-2, but it was the visitors who found the means to turn that formation into pure effectiveness. Two goals, no reply. A comfortable win that leaves the GBA Oeste side with their concerns intact heading into matchday 13. The hosts came out determined, but lacked intensity in the match, that tempo which forces the opposition to speed up. Prov. Flores had fragmented possession, with disconnections in midfield where Samuel Sarmiento was unable to link the moves together with any continuity. Full-back Beto Aranguren tried to hold his own on the right flank, but the team offered him no support from behind or further forward. Damian Munarriz, at thirty years old, looked to create something in attack but could not find the spaces that his experience in Mendoza usually allows him to exploit.
Sportivo Once Norte were lethal in front of goal. Thiago Mancini, the twenty-two-year-old midfielder who arrived in this division hungry for success, moved the ball intelligently from the right. Toño Weinberg in attack — with a rating of 7.5 — was the visitors’ brains, dictating the tempo and finding his teammates when it mattered. Emanuel Hernández at right-back for Once Norte knew how to contain the opposition and move the play forward without fuss. Centre-back Toto Aizpún, a thirty-year-old veteran, closed down the spaces with ease. And Ruso Rojas, who has been at the club for almost a decade following that friendly in 2016, scored his goals with the know-how of a striker who knows the place well: two finishes that summed up the visitors’ superiority.
The result hits Prov. Flores hard, as they needed points at home. Sportivo Once Norte confirmed their good form with this away win, the sort of victories that provide backing in the standings. For the hosts, the uncomfortable conclusion is that it is not a question of effort but of tactical precision and ball circulation. It remains to be seen how they respond in the coming matchdays.
