Estrella La Boca took a victory over El Fortín de Villa Lugano in a tight match where both sides set out with similar approaches from the start. The 4-4-2 formation was chosen by both teams, which produced an even game where space was contested fiercely and without much in the way of flair. The home side won 2-1 on matchday 15 of the Primera L - GBA Sur, a fair result that reflected greater attacking efficiency against a visiting side that arrived unable to turn their chances into goals.
Toño Soldini, the attacking midfielder of just eighteen years old who plays for Estrella La Boca, opened the scoring for the home side with a goal that showed his attacking ability. El Polaco Cisneros, his teammate in attack, also celebrated late on to seal the result. For El Fortín, Stefano Buti pulled one back with a goal that came too late to change the result. Defender Gustavo Zarate, a 27-year-old left-back, put in a good display for Estrella La Boca although he received a yellow card that leaves him on the edge of disciplinary trouble. Eduardo Piñero in the home goal provided the security needed to protect the lead at key moments.
El Fortín could not make the most of their trip despite the attacking efforts of their forward line. Buti, the striker from Tandil, was the visitors’ leading goalscorer but it was not enough. Estrella La Boca take three important points that keep them in the title race, while the Villa Lugano side will have to rethink how to turn around this negative run in their next fixtures.
