C. and Barrio Montserrat left no room for doubt in the afternoon in Montserrat. With a balanced and accurate display, the home side beat El Tradicional de Parque Avellaneda 2-0 on matchday 15 of Primera L - GBA Norte, in a match where the difference in approach was evident from the first half. The home side managed the tempo with ease, taking advantage of the fact that both teams lined up in similar 4-4-2 formations, but it was Montserrat who found the gaps and turned them into goals. El Tradicional tried to stand firm, but their defenders could not contain the home attack.
The goals came through Sebastian Bassi and Damian Vigliani, two central midfielders who took responsibility at different stages of the match. Bassi, at just 28 and with a rating of 7.2, showed the composure that marks him out in linking play from midfield, taking advantage of a defensive error to score. Vigliani, the 33-year-old veteran with experience built up in Comodoro Rivadavia, sealed the result once the match was already heading that way. On the right flank, Damian Tévez, the Uruguayan winger aged 24, did a solid job in defence though he picked up a yellow card that needs watching. Up front, Román Arana on the left and Elián Berecibar on the right completed a set-up that worked without fuss, with no need for alarms.
For El Tradicional, it was one of those afternoons when the side never manages to find its game. Ismael Steinberg at left-back and Renzo Burrini in the centre of defence tried to withstand the onslaught, but without luck. Lolo Vitiello, the Brazilian goalkeeper aged just 18, watched two goals go past him without being able to stop either, which complicates his short history in Argentine football. Montserrat, with the win secured, heads towards the top spots in the group; El Tradicional, by contrast, will need to urgently sort out its defence if it wants to escape the danger places.
