San Agustin2 - 3CJ Villa Pueyrredón

Círculo Villa Riachuelo were the better side for much of the match, but came up against a CJ Villa Pueyrredón side who knew how to make the most of their opportunities and took all three points in a contest that could have ended in a number of different ways. The home side led 2-1 at one stage, but the visitors turned the game around with a late spell in which the hosts fell apart tactically. Both teams lined up in similar formations, 4-4-2 with a balanced mentality, promising a physical but not overly extreme encounter.

The first half was end-to-end, with Círculo Villa Riachuelo seeing more of the ball without being incisive in front of goal. CJ Villa Pueyrredón waited for spaces and posed a threat on the counter. The home side moved 2-1 ahead through their attacking efficiency, but that was not enough to withstand the visitors’ pressure in the closing stages. The home defence began to drop deeper, and although the side had clear chances to seal the match, individual errors when playing out and a few awkward clearances in the box ultimately proved fatal. CJ Villa Pueyrredón capitalised on those moments of inattention to make it 3-2 in a match where the five goals said more about defensive errors than outstanding attacking qualities.

For Círculo Villa Riachuelo, losing at home in this fashion hurts because the work was there, but their lack of composure in the decisive minutes came back to haunt them. CJ Villa Pueyrredón have opened up an important opportunity in the battle for the top places. With this away victory, the figures are beginning to point to a team that knows how to win difficult matches, although their defensive numbers are not exactly reassuring either.
