At the Estadio de Mendoza, against Atlético Virrey del Pino, the home side put on an attacking exhibition that ended 5-0 and, beyond the rout, exposed a chasm in quality between the two squads in this Segunda H - GBA Norte. The visitors arrived with balanced intentions, a decent 4-4-2 on paper, but lacked the tools to contain the constant pressure from the Mendoza side. The home team, in the same formation but with superior arguments in every area, made the most of every chance that came their way on an afternoon where there was practically no contest.

Mendoza's superiority was overwhelming from the very first minute. Atlético Virrey del Pino tried to hold their shape, but Mendoza FC's speed in circulation dismantled any defensive attempt. The home attackers found space with ease and the visitors were powerless to stop the attacking onslaught. Without needing to play attractive or possession-based football, Atlético Mendoza FC simply executed each of their forays with efficiency.
