Unión Balvanera0 - 3CR Parque Patricios

Unión Balvanera had no answers in Balvanera. CR Parque Patricios arrived at the pitch, knew what to do and left with all three points in hand on matchday 3 of Primera I - GBA Oeste, which looked even on paper but ended up being a formality for the visitors. The 3-0 scoreline is emphatic, almost ruthless, but also accurate: the La Paternal side were superior in every department, while the hosts could barely put together anything coherent over the ninety minutes.

Parque Patricios found in Galo Arnaldi and Máximo Vicente the key players to break down a system that, on paper, should have worked better. The eighteen-year-old left-back scored a goal and provided an assist, showing an awareness that is uncommon in a youngster of his age. Vicente, a thirty-two-year-old Brazilian, controlled the tempo from the right with the precision that only experience can bring. Samuel Tossi also stood out in the build-up: his thirty-two years and his experience in Corrientes allowed him to spot spaces that Unión Balvanera failed to close. Gino Zimei, in the visitors' goal, had little to do but was alert when needed. Milton Serpa was booked but maintained his defensive discipline throughout the match.

Tincho Montoya, a thirty-four-year-old veteran who did his best in the home goal, could do little against the visitors' attacking precision. Iñaki Saracho, a thirty-year-old forward who comes into these matches with a history of sacrifice, could not find any space. Vito Bellucci, the eighteen-year-old youngster on the left, barely managed to touch the ball during defensive transitions. Unión Balvanera left Balvanera empty-handed, with questions that their manager will need to answer quickly if he intends to challenge for anything in this division. Parque Patricios, meanwhile, are beginning to dream seriously of the top places.

In the last meeting between Unión Balvanera and CR Parque Patricios: 0 wins for Unión Balvanera, 0 draws and 1 for CR Parque Patricios.
