General Alvear de Once0 - 0Mitre Sport

General Alvear de Once and Liga Recoleta shared the points on a night when a lack of finishing was the common denominator. The 0-0 in Once left more questions than certainties, especially for the home side, who failed to make the most of their status as hosts against a visitor who stood firm defensively from the very first minute. Both teams chose tactical balance as their strategy: 4-4-2 formations and evenly matched mentalities that ended up crystallising in a goalless draw.

The midfield was where the differences were erased. Coco Granado, General Alvear de Once’s defensive midfielder with his thirty-one years behind him, tried to control the tempo from his position, relying on José Riquelme’s runs down the left, who despite picking up a yellow card did not lose concentration in his duties. For the visitors, Manuel Roldán acted as the attacking spark but his 6.9 rating was not enough to unsettle a back line led by Antonio Zumpano, the 22-year-old centre-back who arrived at the club from Lanús without fuss and yesterday showed defensive maturity. Meanwhile, the Paraguayan full-back Andrés Brignole did his defensive work on the left flank.

Aníbal Galli in the visitors’ goal, a 36-year-old veteran who almost by chance ended up at Liga Recoleta, had little to do but was alert when needed. The final result reflects an uncomfortable reality for both: General Alvear de Once missed the chance to win at home against a side that never really threatened, while Liga Recoleta settled for the point rescued away from home. On matchday ten of Primera L - CABA, the draw served only as a breather, not a celebration.
