El Puente de Castelar
Match report
El Fondo de Haedo earned a deserved victory on the opening matchday of Primera F GBA Oeste, beating El Puente de Castelar 2-1 in a match where both sides set out to do much the same, but the home side executed it better. With identical 4-4-2 formations and balanced mindsets, the contest was tight, with no space handed out and no excessive concessions. The home side was not overwhelming, but it did not need to be: it took its chances and controlled the moments that mattered.
El Fondo's goals came from two of its youngest footballers. Tiago Figueroa, the central midfielder of just sixteen with a rating of 7.2, opened the scoring with a goal that showed the confidence the youngster already has at this level. Then Cayetano Gallego, the Brazilian striker of thirty-two who joined the club not long ago, sealed the win with a goal that allowed El Fondo to feel comfortable in the result. In goal, Mario Montoya had to step in at key moments and was booked, although his overall display was solid, around the 7.2 mark.
El Puente de Castelar pulled one back through Darío Hoyos, the veteran striker of thirty-three who continues to provide goals despite his years, although he too saw yellow. Lucas Gil, at just eighteen, provided an assist that showed the away side did manage to get forward, but it was not enough. The home defence, with Adriano Veronese at centre-half and a rating of 7.7, was the barrier El Puente could never quite break through. It was a league debut without major surprises: the home side controlled the tempo, the visitors battled but could not find any more. The three points stay in Haedo.
