Match report
La Gloria de Chacarita took a deserved win in Villa Lugano, in a fixture where both teams played cautiously but the visitors were more effective when it mattered. On a pitch where El Tradicional aimed to impose their home game with a balanced 4-4-2 set-up, the Chacarita side found enough space to create danger from the first half. Benjamín Puebla, the nineteen-year-old striker, was the one who settled the match with his goal, confirming the fine form he has been in since arriving at La Gloria little more than a year ago. The youngster was not merely a spectator: he stayed alert, took part in the build-up and, when the ball came to his feet, he finished without hesitation.
El Tradicional were not lacking in intent. Edgardo Pisani, the home striker aged 27, tried to break down the visitors' defence on several occasions, but found a well-set back four. Gino Kovaleski, the experienced 31-year-old winger, looked to create down the left without managing to produce anything clear. Nano Brogli at left-back did his defensive job, albeit without any major scares. The real problem for El Tradicional was the lack of precision in the final third: the team got forward, but without the clarity needed to unsettle.
Lucio Visentin on Chacarita's left wing was another of the standout names, constantly creating from his flank and picking up a yellow card that slightly affected his play in the closing stages. The balanced mentality of both teams ended up benefiting the side that was deadlier. A tight match, without goal flurries, where the difference came down to details and the ability to take the one chance that really mattered. La Gloria de Chacarita leave satisfied; El Tradicional will need to improve their attacking efficiency ahead of what comes next.
