El Vencedor de Parque Chacabuco and Juventud La Boca shared the points in a match where both sides played it safe, taking no great risks and making no excessive demands. The 1-1 draw was a fair reflection of a game in which neither side managed to impose themselves clearly, although there were moments when either could have taken the win. Toto Bisi opened the scoring for the home side with a goal that seemed to settle the match, but Rafael Bravo, from the visiting defence, produced a response that left everything set up for a second half without a decisive outcome.
With both teams lining up in a 4-4-2 with a balanced mentality, the football was predictable. El Vencedor had the pace of Mati Jiménez on the left, the 27-year-old Uruguayan winger who moved with some freedom without creating sustained danger. Faustino Zerbi, the 24-year-old forward, provided an assist but had a discreet performance, doing his job without shining. In the home defence, Iván Aranzazu held together an untroubled back line. For the visitors, Ariel Naranjo had to stay alert in goal, while Yamil Zegna tried to create something down the left flank without much effect. Santino Saborido and Milton Montañez shored up the visiting defence, although without too many complications.
The result leaves both sides in a grey area. For El Vencedor, dropping two points at home after taking the lead is a bitter pill; for Juventud La Boca, the draw works as a lifeline but also confirms that in this Primera I del GBA Sur, nobody gives anything away. Both will continue rowing through difficult waters, without the consistency demanded by the division.
