Atlético Ciudadela1 - 1El Fortín de San Justo

Atlético Catán FC and El Fortín de San Justo shared the points in a match that reflected the balance between two teams who respect each other. Both set out in an organised 4-4-2, with no great attacking ambitions, in what was the opening fixture of matchday 1 in Primera F of GBA Oeste. Mati Gordillo opened the scoring for the home side with a goal that seemed to be steering them towards victory, but Elías Leguizamón, the veteran striker aged 34 who brings the experience of his years in Comodoro Rivadavia, levelled matters when the match called for a decisive touch.

Damian Riccardi, the 22-year-old centre-half who grew up under the close watch of coaches from Mendoza, carried out his defensive role well and provided an assist that put Atlético Catán close to a second goal. However, the solidity of the visitors' structure prevented it. El Fortín de San Justo were never outplayed, maintaining a compact defensive line that nullified the home side's intentions. Aaron Berecibar, the 23-year-old striker, shored up the attack with a constant presence, albeit without too many clear chances to score.

The draw was fair. Neither Atlético Catán managed to make the difference despite playing at home, nor did El Fortín de San Justo find a way to break through the defensive lock at key moments. Both teams are doing their job in this league: organised, disciplined, without any great flourish. Gordillo and Berecibar were around the 7.1 rating mark, solid enough. Leguizamón scored and picked up a yellow card, a sign of a player who still carries attacking weight despite being 34. A decent starting point for both in their search for their place in the competition.
