Match report
Defensores de Adrogué took a deserved win against Defensores de Quilmes at the start of Primera E - GBA Sur, in a match where both sides came out with the same tactical idea but different abilities to carry it out. The home side, on their pitch, made use of an advantage that was never overwhelming, but was constant. Lisandro Vázquez, the attacking midfielder of just sixteen years old, was the one who settled it with a goal that allowed Adrogué to pick up three points on the opening matchday. The youngster from Resistencia had his moments of sharpness in attack, though he also picked up a yellow card that reminded him that at this level the margins are tight.
The 4-4-2 shape worked better for the home side thanks to the balance they kept in midfield. Sebastián Dybala and Ángel Cabrera, Adrogué's two central midfielders, gained more in judgement than perhaps they did in intensity. The first, nineteen years old and already showing surprising tactical maturity for his age, was more consistent than the second, who nevertheless did his job. Lautaro Messi, the right winger nicknamed from Mendoza who arrived from the futsal courts, offered a presence without being decisive. Coco Aizpurúa was not put under much pressure in the home goal, which speaks of a defence that dealt well with the visitor's attacks.
For Quilmes, Cristian Riva tried from the age of thirty-one to lead the attacking movement with an experience that did not always find a response from his team-mates. The Bahía attacking midfielder, the owner of a career that has been rough but persistent, moved tirelessly but lacked precision in the final third. Chino Flores, the former Merlo striker who is only twenty-three, failed to find clear space in the opposition defence. The result was fair: Adrogué won because they controlled the game without being perfect, Quilmes lost because they could not turn their intentions into real danger.
