Mutual Liniers did not have to make a superhuman effort to see off Federación Pompeya in GBA Oeste. The 2-0 was the reflection of a match where the home side imposed itself from the outset, with a balanced 4-4-2 shape that allowed them to control the tempo without needing to launch themselves into wild attacks. The Pompeya side, with the same system, never found a way to create any real threat. It was a flat, predictable match, where Mutual Liniers had the comfort of playing at home and knew how to make the most of it.
Nazareno Halim was solid at left-back, and those twenty-eight years already laden with experience at the club showed in every movement. Simón Borda, the 22-year-old winger, constantly created dangerous situations down his flank. But the man carrying the attacking load was Nahuel Schwartzman up front, a striker who knows where the goal is at 24. Schwartzman was the soul of the Liniers attack: intelligent positioning in the box, that instinct some are born with. Mendoza in goal did not have to work too hard; Samuel Miguens in the opposition back line tried to defend with what he had, but Pompeya did not create any situations of real concern. Ricardo Bauer, the visiting striker, was lost for ninety minutes, unable to link up with the play. Ignacio Branca at left-back for Pompeya also could not break the defensive structure.
The match was decided early, without drama or surprises. Mutual Liniers take three points that strengthen their position in the table, while Federación Pompeya return to La Boca empty-handed and with unanswered questions. It was not a spectacular thrashing, just the better-positioned side beating one that had no answers.
