Argentinos de Barracas comfortably overcame Sportivo Once Norte in a match where the home side’s superiority was clear from the first half. The final 2-0 scoreline fairly reflects what happened on the pitch: a team that controlled the tempo, faced no scares in defence and did what was necessary to take all three points on matchday 17 of Primera I - GBA Oeste. Both squads lined up with the same tactical structure, a balanced 4-4-2, but it was the Barracas side who made better use of the system.
Miguel Viva was solid at centre-back, the sort of defender who marks his territory without needing to put on a spectacular display. Pocho Beitia and Faustino Chaile scored the goals that settled the match, with the 31-year-old veteran forward showing off that instinct which has eluded him at times in his career but still allows him to remain effective. Lalo Bastianelli did his defensive work on the left, while Dylan Ruffini made his presence felt in midfield. For Sportivo Once Norte, Toño Weinberg was unable to provide width from midfield and ended up being booked for his impatience. Toto Aizpún and Agustín Bertolino, defenders with years of experience, were swept aside by the home side’s attacking fluency.
The result leaves Argentinos de Barracas with a hard-earned victory, unspectacular but effective, in a match where the visitors never found a gap through which to cause trouble. Sportivo Once Norte leave without being able to create clear-cut chances and with the feeling that they had been tactically outplayed from early on. It was a victory that neither surprises nor disappoints; quite simply, the better-positioned team took what it had come for.
