Atlético Belgrano arrived in Villa Pueyrredón and took a comfortable win that barely raised any suspense. El Fortín set up a balanced 4-4-2 from the start, but their attacking moves never found the consistency needed. Belgrano, with the same tactical shape, were more ruthless when it mattered. Two unanswered goals sealed a matchday in which the away side showed efficiency while the home side came apart in the details.
Belgrano's numbers speak for themselves. Marcos Sacchetti, the nineteen-year-old striker still battling to establish himself in the starting XI, scored one and provided an assist in a display that brought him closer to earning more trust. Tobías Scopelliti, the Bahía-born centre-back who is closing in on 28, also scored and was a key piece in the defensive build-up. In midfield, the away side had greater control. For El Fortín, Jonathan Riva in midfield and Ricardo Zaghi at left-back carried out their defensive duties without any sparkle. Zaghi picked up a yellow card, which keeps him on his toes ahead of the next one. Cristian Schneider, the left winger who is only nineteen, could not unleash his pace nor find space to trouble a Belgrano defence that knew how to close ranks with order.
The result punishes the home side, who at this stage of Primera I must keep collecting points if they want to remain in the qualification spots. Belgrano, by contrast, are stepping more firmly with each matchday. The visitors showed that with passing movement and finishing in the penalty area it is possible to travel to an away pitch and leave with all three points. For El Fortín, the outstanding task is to find an attacking identity that allows them to compete on equal terms. The next fixtures will be decisive.
