LOS GURISES FC2 - 0Defensores de Villa Devoto

Los Gurises FC beat Defensores de Villa Devoto with authority in Primera E de CABA, in a match where the home side’s superiority ultimately proved decisive in sealing a 2-0 win on matchday 6. The home side’s 4-1-4-1 setup worked with precision against the visitors’ 4-4-2, which never found a way to really trouble Walter Flores between the posts. The 37-year-old goalkeeper, with the calm that comes from the experience gained in so many afternoons of Argentine football, scarcely needed to make any major interventions; his steady presence in goal was enough to see through a match that Los Gurises controlled from start to finish.

Tiziano Ríos was the revelation in central midfield. The 16-year-old youngster was unafraid of any of his rivals, moved intelligently in the first half and found spaces where Defensores could not close them down. Ríos showed a maturity not often seen in players his age: ball retention, vision, and, most importantly, the goal that opened the scoring. His strike came when Los Gurises were already dominating the pitch, consolidating an advantage that looked comfortable but which the home side guarded seriously. Benicio Edelman at centre-back put in a solid performance despite picking up a yellow card in the second half; the 28-year-old defender knows how to position himself and does not give away unnecessary space. Alongside him, Javier Vignati, younger at 22, did quiet but effective work, and even chipped in with an assist that helped stretch the lead.

The second goal arrived when Defensores were already showing signs of tactical collapse. Chino Almada, the 30-year-old striker who knows the codes of Argentine football well, made the most of the visitors’ mistakes and finished his goal with the craft that defines him. Almada moved intelligently in the box, took advantage of a gap the rival defence left, and made no mistake. His goal put the result beyond doubt in a match that Defensores never managed to bring into question. Lisandro Medina and Beto Garnacho tried to generate something down the visitors’ right side, but Los Gurises’ centre-backs gave them no breathing room. Eduardo Greco, Villa Devoto’s right-back, had a difficult afternoon; the attacks were not flowing towards his flank with any real danger.

Walter Flores would be shown a yellow card in one of the few situations where Defensores came forward with any real threat, although the goalkeeper did his part. Los Gurises’ superiority was clear in possession and in ball circulation. Los Gurises deserved the win without question, played the better football and converted their chances. Defensores never found the energy to turn around a situation that became complicated early on, which forced them to chase a result that Los Gurises were never going to allow. A comfortable victory that puts the home side in a strong position in the table.
