Match report
Aurora de Villa Devoto and Argentinos de Barracas shared the points in a match that confirmed what both set-ups suggested: two evenly matched teams that could not find the breakthrough needed to take the win. The 1-1 draw was fair, although perhaps unsatisfying for those hoping for something more decisive. The hosts had Liam Bilbao to thank for opening the scoring, a 25-year-old central midfielder who, unlike in his unassuming beginnings on the pitches of the Greater Buenos Aires suburbs, found space this time to get into the box and shoot. Argentinos de Barracas responded quickly through Dylan Ruffini, the young 19-year-old Brazilian midfielder who, since arriving in Buenos Aires, has shown that defensive solidity alongside an ability to make an impact in attack, although he did pick up a yellow card in the process.
Genaro Tagliaferri, the 37-year-old right winger who was enjoying the best spell of his career, helped create Aurora’s opener, showing that he still has attacking resources to offer at that age. For the visitors, right-back Benicio Krüger was responsible for the assist that led to Ruffini’s goal, another 32-year-old veteran who carries out his role without fuss. Leonardo Mata, Devoto’s defensive midfielder with a rating of 7, tried to organise things from deep, although the match slipped away between the lines, where neither side managed clear superiority.
The interesting thing was that neither team, set up in a 4-4-2 with a balanced mentality, wanted to take greater risks in the closing stages. Pancho Arazandi, Argentinos’ 23-year-old goalkeeper, was not overly busy because Aurora failed to create any consistent danger after the opening goal either. A draw that accurately reflects the current state of the group, where the points are being shared around without any team quite managing to pull clear.
