Atlético Belgrano R FC2 - 0Social y Deportivo Versalles

Atlético Belgrano R FC had little trouble in seeing off Social y Deportivo Versalles on the opening matchday of the Primera I de CABA. The final 2-0 reflects a superiority built on the foundations of an even, balanced approach, without needing to take too many risks, taking advantage of the mistakes of a visiting side that never found its rhythm. The goals came from Marcos Sacchetti and Axel Arias, two nineteen-year-olds who showed a hunger in the box, even if from rather unconventional positions for their age.

The match was more an exercise in defensive solidity than in stylish football. Mateo Godoy, the thirty-three-year-old goalkeeper with a career forged on modest pitches, had barely any real work; his back was covered by Tobías Scopelliti and Axel Arias in the middle, with Mario Barbano patrolling the left flank. The full-back picked up a yellow for impatience, but it did not affect his overall performance. Versalles tried to press in spells with Agustín Corona and Mauro Bottani, though without clarity in execution. Corona, the thirty-three-year-old veteran who knows these battles well, failed to create consistent danger. Nico Tagle on the right was more of a nuisance than a real threat.

Belgrano controlled the pace to suit themselves, without needing any grand displays. Scopelliti saw yellow for an unnecessary clash, but his central solidity was beyond dispute with a rating of 7.7. The goals from Sacchetti and Arias arrived when the match was already conceptually settled, with only the small details left to sort out. Versalles go home unable to claim a clear chance that would suggest a lack of defensive ability from the opposition. Belgrano picked up points from the off, and although it was not one for the memory bank, they got the job done without unnecessary complications. ELDT will see a side that knows when to switch the lights off.
