Tottenfan
Match report
Tottenfan arrived at Los Que Nunca Ganan's pitch with a clear plan and enough ability to carry it out without a hitch. Both sides lined up in a 4-4-2 formation and with an even mentality, but the difference in individual performance was decisive from early on. Los Que Nunca Ganan tried to hold on through the experience of their midfielders: Ivo Ortelli, who was racking up the years but still doing a job in midfield, and Manuel Rastelli, who at thirty-one was still bringing experience to the midfield on the right. Leonel Azarola, the thirty-three-year-old forward, was still looking to cause danger in attack, but the visitors' defence would not give him many chances.
Tottenfan, by contrast, showed a superior level of execution. Enzo Marichal at centre-back, at just twenty-six, read the game with precision. Norberto Castro on the left, at twenty-nine, was decisive in positional attack. Adrián Bruschi in goal picked up a yellow card but did not compromise his performance. In attack, Manuel Stankovic, the left winger aged thirty-eight and born in Porto Alegre, was a constant source of play-making. Facundo Aramburu scored a goal that sealed a clear superiority. Los Que Nunca Ganan found no tactical answers to contain the visitors. The difference in ratings between the squads became obvious: while Los Que Nunca Ganan hovered around 6.6, Tottenfan was consistently showing 7.2 and above.
The final 3-0 was no accident. Tottenfan controlled the tempo, took advantage of the spaces their rivals left, and finished efficiently. Ortelli was booked in an attempt to stop the bleeding, but Los Que Nunca Ganan simply were not in a position to compete. It was a match where quality came out on top without drama. Primera G, matchday 2: Tottenfan at the top and plenty still to play for.
