Sportivo Once Norte earned a deserved win in La Matanza, where Central de Belgrano R El Barrio failed to find the answers they were looking for on home turf. The 1-0 scoreline reflected a tight match between two sides who opted for the same approach: a balanced 4-4-2 in which neither wanted to take too many risks. Sebastián Berasategui scored the visitors’ goal, the only difference in ninety minutes where the football was sparing but Sportivo Once Norte knew how to capitalise on the opportunity that came their way. The 25-year-old centre-back, a stubborn type from the southern suburbs, found the breakthrough in a match where Central de Belgrano R El Barrio left occasional gaps but were never truly under siege.
The afternoon’s numbers favoured the visitors. Toto Aizpún, the Merlo defender with a 7.6 rating, was a wall at the heart of the visiting defence, anticipating the hosts’ attempts without needing a card, though one eventually arrived. Thiago Mancini and Toño Weinberg, with ratings of 7.4 and 7.3 respectively, organised the visitors’ midfield with good judgement. For Central de Belgrano R El Barrio, Matías Levin tried to make things happen down the left, but his 36 years and a 6.5 rating reflected the difficulties of breaking through a well-set visiting defence. Rolando Stankovic (6.4) and Adrián Sequeira (6.4) did their jobs without alarm in the home side’s defensive area, but it was not enough.
The match was decided by the finest of margins. Sportivo Once Norte were more clinical, more pragmatic in those grey areas where tight matches are won. Central de Belgrano R El Barrio had their football, but lacked the attacking punch to settle matches like this. For the visitors, three points that keep them in the race. For the hosts, unfinished business at home that they cannot afford to keep accumulating at this stage.
