Match report
Defensores de Lanús did not have to suffer too much to take all three points on the first matchday of Primera E. The home side imposed their authority from the off against Club Berazategui in a match where the difference in resources became clear very early on. With a balanced 4-4-2 shape, the hosts controlled the tempo of the game and took their chances clinically. Hernán Gómez, the twenty-five-year-old striker who knows the trade well, scored a goal that underlined the dominance on show. The visiting side's defence, with Ángel Jiménez at the heart of it, never found a way to contain the home attack, which flowed naturally through midfield.
Pepe Jiménez had a straightforward shift in Defensores' back line. The thirty-one-year-old centre-back showed the experience accumulated over the course of his career at the club and barely needed to draw on his defensive range. Valentín Rodríguez, the thirty-four-year-old left-back, did a solid job on his side, while on the right flank Gabi Flores maintained the overall solidity. Pepe Álvarez, the nineteen-year-old midfielder, was a постоянный presence in the attacking build-up without any scares. Club Berazategui, with a similar structural approach but without their rivals' firepower, barely posed a threat. Lucas Costa on the right wing tried isolated initiatives that did not come off, while the young Cristian Ortega, just a sixteen-year-old teenager, gained experience at left-back without being able to change the course of the match.
The home side's superiority was reflected without drama in a second goal that settled the matter before time. It was a comfortable victory, with no great joy or trauma for either side. Defensores have started this season on the right foot, while Berazategui will have to rethink their approach ahead of their next fixture in the league.
