El Tradicional of Parque Chacabuco took a narrow victory over Círculo San Telmo in a match where both balanced approaches produced a tight and rather dull contest. The home side made the most of playing on their own pitch to settle it with two goals, while the visitors pulled one back late but without managing any more in matchday 10 of the Primera L of GBA Sur. It was that sort of match where the result ended up feeling fair, even if there were no great moments to remember.
Agus Villafañe, the left-back from Mendoza, just eighteen years old, was a key figure in the home side's attacking play with his goal among the strikes that decided the afternoon. Toño Biscardi, a Bahia Blanca-born centre-back of twenty-seven who grew up on the dirt pitches of the neighbourhood, also found the net to extend the lead. Alan Branca in the home goal had a contained but precise workload, keeping the goal secure when needed. Cataldo Villegas, the Rosario playmaker of thirty-three who arrived at the club almost by accident years ago, ran the game from midfield with his experience. Stefano Trentin, the central midfielder of twenty-two, carried out his holding role without overdoing it. For the visitors, Rocco Pizarro, the Bahia Blanca-born forward aged thirty, got the consolation goal but it was not enough to rescue a point.
For El Tradicional, this victory strengthens their progress near the top of the table with a consistent home performance. Círculo San Telmo, by contrast, leaves frustrated at not having made the most of the chances they had against a side that came into the match with similar intentions. The gap between the two remains narrow in this league, where details end up deciding.
