Sportivo Once Norte claimed a deserved victory on Saturday afternoon against General Pueyrredón de Constitución, in a match where both teams set out with the same tactical intention, but the home side made better use of its resources. The 1-0 came through Beto Paz, the thirty-year-old midfielder who wears the scars of his battles on the pitch like an unassuming medal. It was a tight result, befitting two evenly matched squads who gave nothing away on the pitch, with the smallest margin ultimately proving decisive.
Sportivo Once Norte found their best attacking idea in Toño Weinberg, whose 7.7 rating reflected an afternoon of good judgement when building play from midfield. Valentino Bevilacqua, also rated 7.6, was the tireless runner typical of central midfielders without lofty ambitions but with an effective approach to marking. For the visitors, Hector Rossini did what he could with his 6.6, trying to create something through his creativity in Bahía Blanca, but Cacho Reyes, the twenty-year-old winger with boots worn down by history, could not find the space to cause damage. Máximo Cabrera, barely seventeen years old, learned his lessons in defence against a team that knew when to play vertically. Thiago Mancini was booked late in the match.
The victory was not spectacular, but it was deserved. Once Norte know that every point counts in this Primera I de GBA Oeste, and against a similar opponent they found the goal that made the difference. Pueyrredón leave empty-handed, frustrated at having been unable to break an equilibrium that held until the end, when mental fatigue begins to weigh more heavily than any formation.
