Ferro Balvanera2 - 0Atlético Villa Devoto FC

Ferro Balvanera prevailed comfortably against Atlético Villa Devoto FC in a match where the difference in judgement proved decisive. The home side controlled the tempo of a fixture that, on paper, seemed evenly balanced with both formations in 4-4-2, but which in reality reflected two teams with different readings of the game. Goals from Lorenzo Egea and Horacio Bonansea sealed a comfortable victory on matchday 13 of Primera L de CABA, a result that allows Ferro to breathe in the table after a tie they dominated without needing to produce their very best version.

Hugo Montoya in the home defence was a cornerstone, with his anticipatory reading of the game that characterises the nineteen-year-old centre-back with a 7.7 rating. Luis Fischer, a thirty-year-old forward who knows the tricks of the trade, helped wear down the visitors' back line with his awkward presence. Misael Arrojo from midfield managed the tempo with the precision that sets him apart, while Bonansea made the most of his freedom down the left flank. At the other end, Ian Balerdi tried to create danger from the right, but his effort did not translate into clear chances. Gastón Zola in defence picked up a yellow card, a sign of a team that faded as the game went on. Benjamín López also saw yellow, a reflection of the constant pressure applied by the home side.

Villa Devoto found no attacking answers in the second half. The balanced mindset they proposed crumbled in the face of Ferro's tactical superiority, which made use of its space with judgement. The visitors return to CABA without points and with the task of reviewing how they set up in a match where the opponent was not exceptional but was sharper. For Ferro, the victory comes without major complications, though without overwhelming brilliance either.
