Club Paternal3 - 1Social y Deportivo Versalles

Club Paternal enjoyed a thoroughly satisfying afternoon against Social y Deportivo Versalles on matchday five of Primera I de CABA. The home side won 3-1 with an organised display that made the most of a visitor’s weaknesses; they arrived with good intentions but were quickly demoralised on the pitch. The match unfolded between two teams who opted for similar tactics, both in a 4-4-2 and with an balanced mentality, but Paternal executed its moves better and punished every mistake without mercy.

Rafael Vilas was the home side’s attacking beacon. The Uruguayan left winger scored one of the goals and also provided an assist, confirming why his 7.7 rating puts him among the best in his role in this division. Mauro Versace, the striker with the inherited boots, also got on the scoresheet in a substantial attacking performance. In midfield, Ismael Alkorta was the calm Paternal needed: the holding midfielder worked tirelessly and picked up a yellow card for his defensive intensity. For Versalles, Gregorio Aranzeta pulled one back with a goal that at least spared them a heavier defeat. The veteran striker, still an attacking reference at 36, tried his luck on several occasions, though without too much clarity. Agustín Corona provided an assist, but his 6.5 rating reflected a subdued afternoon in the visitor’s build-up play.

Benicio Werner and León Moya in the Paternal defence closed the spaces well, while the Mileño full-back with the scar on his eyebrow showed composure in his interventions. Versalles found no way to breach that solidity and ended up paying for every inaccuracy with goals against. With this victory, Paternal continues to pick up points at home and shows that it can compete on equal terms in this league.
