The goalless draw at half-time left the feeling of a match in which both sides arrived at Parque Avellaneda with similar tactical ideas, with no intention of taking too many risks. El Tradicional set up an even 4-4-2 at home, while Villa Soldati mirrored the same structure away from home. The lack of attacking clarity was evident during the first forty-five minutes, although the home side did have moments to cause concern. It was in the second half that the match gained in intensity and both sides found the net almost simultaneously.
Ismael Steinberg, the 33-year-old left-back for the Parque Avellaneda side, was the one who opened the scoring in the second half with a goal that shook the match. The experienced defender’s overall display was rated at 7.2, but that goal briefly made him the main man. Villa Soldati’s response did not take long: Iñaki Rinaldi, a striker of just 18, levelled the scores with a goal of his own shortly afterwards. The young visiting forward also finished his afternoon with a 7.2 rating, showing that youth can solve scoring situations when they come along. Víctor Rastelli, El Tradicional’s 20-year-old holding midfielder, tried to organise the middle of the park with a display equivalent to Rinaldi’s, though he was booked for his intensity. Yago Jiménez provided an assist from the home midfield and also went into the book.
The 1-1 draw left both sides with mixed feelings. For El Tradicional of Parque Avellaneda, failing to win at home is always a thorn, although the point against a visitor who arrived with defensive solidity does not detract from the result. In Villa Soldati, they found a valuable escape, although Rinaldi’s youth will need to be turned into consistency in the coming matchdays if they are to aspire to more than away draws.
