Kasko da Lama
Match report
Kasko da Lama secured a deserved victory in Vicente López, in a match where both teams set out with the same idea but the visitors were more clinical when it mattered. The 4-4-2 formation was the shape chosen by both sides, a tactical balance that ultimately favoured the away team, who knew how to take advantage of two chances to claim all three points. Sportivo Vicente López Norte pulled one back through Ismael Sanz, the 28-year-old attacking midfielder who showed flashes going forward but could not do enough to prevent defeat. Sanz, the home side’s attacking standout, was shown a yellow card in an incident where he tried to change the course of the match without quite managing it.
The midfield was the epicentre of the game. Patricio Bergman and Samuel Arratia, Kasko da Lama’s midfielders, showed why they both have a rating of 7.5: precise reading of the game, anticipating without needing to run around like headless chickens. At 33, Bergman remains the sort of player who slows the game down when everything seems chaotic. Arratia was booked but never stopped getting into the places he needed to be. For the home side, right-back Gregorio Cardoso played a prominent role with an assist, showing that at 21 he already handles himself naturally in the top flight. The full-back, originally from merleño, performed his defensive duties well.
Kasko’s goals came from Aníbal Álvarez and Juan Rainoldi, the Uruguayan centre-back who defended well and was lethal in attack. Milton Azarola at left-back for the visitors was dependable, offering no surprises but making no mistakes. It was a tight match, short on major thrills but featuring two teams that stuck to their structures. Kasko left Vicente López with the victory in the bag on Matchday 1, having shown they have a well-assembled squad. Sportivo Vicente López Norte will have to improve, especially in front of goal.
