Match report
The goalless draw settled over Parque Centenario stadium as the likeliest outcome from the moment the referee blew the whistle. Two teams that set up in identical formations, both in 4-4-2 with balanced mentality, ended up cancelling each other out in a match where chances were in short supply. Real Abasto Reserves arrived away from home with no intention of taking major risks, and the home side also failed to find any gaps through which to attack with any real depth. The final result was the purest expression of a joyless draw: a 0-0 that no one expected to gift, but nor could anyone prevent.
Noé Porras, the home side’s seventeen-year-old striker, had his night to try but not to find. The youngster from Concordia scarcely managed to trouble the visiting back line, which remained solid thanks to the partnership of Yoel Ledesma and the screening work in midfield of Cayetano Ballarini, the wing-back who is only twenty. Salvador Pollini, Real Abasto’s central midfielder, controlled the tempo without creating any imbalance. Bautista Altuna, the visitors’ left-back, deserved better fortune when pushing on down the flank, but Adrián Escalante, the right winger, was more for the stands than for solo work in that area. Matías Bruschi did his job in defence without needing to perform any acrobatics, and picked up a yellow card that underlined his fierce commitment to marking.
For Parque Centenario, points salvaged at home against an opponent that did not come to lose. For Real Abasto, a trip that might have yielded more than it took home. Matchday 2 of Primera I in GBA Sur did not serve up excitement, but it did confirm caution as the best strategy of the weekend.
