N. Estrella Boedo left San Telmo with the three points in the bag after a tight match where both teams played with similar formations but the away side proved more effective when it mattered. El Porvenir lost 2-1 at home on matchday 8 of Primera I de GBA Norte, a result that leaves more doubts than certainties for the home side, which had chances but failed to make the most of them as it should have.
Nazareno De Angelis, the 33-year-old centre-back who has spent decades in Argentine football, scored El Porvenir's goal but it was not enough to shore up the defence. His experience, reflected in a rating of 7.2, was not enough to contain Estrella Boedo's attacks. For the away side, Adriano Vincenzi shone with a goal and an assist from left-back, showing that at 26 he is still improving his performances with a rating of 7.7. Goalkeeper Diego Bevilacqua, 28, put in a solid display that allowed him to repel the home side's attempts. The away academy also left its mark: Tato Etcheverry, at 17, showed resources well beyond what is usually seen at that age, while Víctor Serrano, another youngster from the club, carried out his role without any fuss.
The match was balanced, as the type of victory suggests, but the difference lay in the away side's precision when chances came their way. El Porvenir de San Telmo cannot be satisfied with this defeat if it intends to move into the top places. Estrella Boedo, meanwhile, emerge strengthened from a difficult pitch and with confirmation that their squad, varied in age and experience, can compete with anyone. Matchday 8 made the contrast clear between two teams that still have plenty to say in the tournament.
