Mutual Liniers claimed a comfortable win in the West, outclassing N. Estrella Flores with the clinical edge that had been missing in the opening fixtures. The 2-0 was emphatic, without any drama, with a home side that knew how to manage the match from the very first line. Both squads went for balanced 4-4-2 setups, but Liniers found the gaps where the visitors could not shut them down.
Wilfredo Aldecoa was decisive in midfield, the 28-year-old midfielder who almost by chance arrived at Liniers years ago and is now a key cog in the home machine. His goal, finished with the precision of those who know every corner of their pitch, made the difference on the scoreboard. Roberto Bartolozzi, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder, brought the kind of footwork versatility that kept him at the club three years ago, moving between the lines without leaving spaces free. At the back, Lisandro Mazza stood up to the pressure with his 36 years of experience, although he picked up a yellow card that limits his options going forward. Nazareno Halim at left-back was solid, without any great fuss but doing the job in an area where N. Estrella Flores did not create sustained danger. Lionel Mendoza, the young goalkeeper brought through from Patagonia, did not have too much work, but that is also a sign of a well-organised defence.
N. Estrella Flores arrived full of intent but never found the depth to truly trouble their hosts. Yamil Zindato, just a 17-year-old youngster in the visitors' goal, was one of the few positives in a squad that had no answer to the home pressure. Marcelo Zappa up front could not link up with the movements that help him create danger. The result, in the end, was fair: Liniries keep adding points in the Primera L of the West, while N. Estrella Flores will have to rethink how to face rivals that give nothing away.
