Como4 - 0Juventud La Boca

Club de Caballito Este swept aside Juventud La Boca with such overwhelming superiority that the final 4-0 was only a reflection of what happened on the pitch. The home side, with a balanced 4-4-2 setup, found in the visitors’ approach —identical to their own— an open door to play direct, efficient football that left La Boca with no defensive tools. It was the kind of thrashing that hurts to watch from the opposite stand, where the 90 minutes passed like an unappealable sentence.

Emanuel Caggiano was the main executioner. Caballito Este's attacking midfielder, 28 and in the peak of his powers, scored twice and provided an assist with the clarity of someone who does not need to think twice to finish the job. Ivo Allende, the 23-year-old central midfielder who has been growing in importance, also netted twice in what was a display of the home side's attacking ability. La Boca's defence, with Santino Saborido in the heart of it trying to hold firm as best he could, had no answer to stop Caballito Este's transitional pace. The visiting wingers, Claudio Pomilio and Yamil Zegna, drifted around the pitch with little impact, neutralised by a home structure that shut down every space.

Pedro Bensi, the 34-year-old right-back with veteran experience behind him, only needed a yellow card to remind everyone that he remains useful in defence. Cesar Lewandowski, the goalkeeper at just 19, did not have to work too hard on an afternoon that was more of a tactical training session for Caballito Este. For La Boca, the defeat ends a difficult run in the southern zone of Primera I de GBA. The team will need deep self-criticism: with set-ups similar to their rival's, individual quality made the difference.
