Match report
Deportivo Caballito Veteranos took a hard-fought away win against Defensa y Retiro Oeste in a match where both sides set out in search of the same thing: control of the game from a balanced structure. The 3-2 result sums up perfectly what happened on the pitch: two teams willing to attack without neglecting the back line too much, which produced a goalscoring spectacle where efficiency ultimately proved decisive. Caballito made better use of its moments, while Retiro Oeste, despite having Nene Bono in inspired form, could not plug the defensive leaks that their rivals exploited throughout the match.
Bono was the undisputed star for the home side, scoring two goals with an 8.4 rating that reflects his classy display. The Uruguayan striker had grounds to claim a third, but Caballito had the solidity of Galo Schulz at the back and the screening presence of Ramiro Forni in midfield, who at seventeen showed the cool head that is often in short supply at that age. Ricardo Lorca in the away goal also did enough to keep the scoreline from getting worse, responding when needed. For the home side, Ángel Aldazabal tried to provide defensive calm, although a yellow card on his record was not the only thing that weighed on his 6.2 display.
Caballito's win has the taste of one that is hard for the opposition to swallow, especially because Retiro Oeste showed attacking hunger throughout the match. However, in Argentine league football desire alone is not enough: you have to be sharp at the back, and that is where Defensa paid the price. For Caballito, this away win adds three vital points in the battle for the area. For Retiro Oeste, there remains the feeling that they let slip a match that could have been theirs.
