Gasolero1 - 0Kaliken City

Provincia de Solano took the three points on the first matchday of Primera F - GBA Sur with a victory that owed more to control than to brilliance. The 1-0 against Federación Llavallol was the fair result of a match in which both teams looked for balance from the outset, with identical 4-4-2 set-ups and no real intention of venturing too far forward. The goal came through Bruno Rotondi, the seventeen-year-old winger who continues to grow at the club after being spotted years ago on the dirt pitches of San Martín. The youngster showed tactical versatility and attitude, finishing with a 7.2 rating in a display that highlighted his ability to play in different areas of the attack.

The home defence worked well over the ninety minutes. Elián Bertolini, the thirty-two-year-old Brazilian centre-back who wears the scar on his chin as a reminder of his younger days, put in a solid performance with a 7.7 rating, though he did pick up a booking. Alongside Ronaldo Curi, who at twenty-one is still in the consolidation stage, they managed to contain Federación Llavallol's ragged attacks. Left-back Liam Anitua did his defensive work, staying alert to the surges of Salvador Echeverría, who scored 6.6 and could do little on the visitors' flank. In goal, Nene Baccaro was not called upon too heavily thanks to the home side's good defensive positioning.

Federación Llavallol never found any fluidity in attack. Yamil Vigevani, the thirty-year-old right winger, and Quique Flores in defensive midfield barely managed to string together three passes in a row. The away side found itself trapped between a desire to take the initiative and a tactical inability to break down the home structure. So Provincia de Solano managed the match without needing to take too many risks, securing a perfect start to the matchday with a victory that, while not dazzling, allows them to get into the fight from day one.
