Coca Juniors arrived at the Viejos Pellejos pitch with a tactical clarity that the home side could never neutralise. Both teams lined up with the same approach, a balanced 4-4-2, but the difference lay in the execution. From the outset, the visitors moved the ball intelligently, while Viejos Pellejos, with Salvador De Luca in goal trying to contain what was coming, could not find a way to press in midfield. Tomás Rosenfeld and Pichi Arrigorriaga worked tirelessly, but the centre-back did not have enough pace to keep up with the movements of Lisandro Guerrero, Coca Juniors' forward who proved decisive with a goal and an assist. Left-back Luciano Mayorga was also a constant headache for the home defence, while Uriel Mella, at 33 years old, showed that he remains a reliable veteran at right-back for the visitors.
The match was decided by efficiency. Coca Juniors did not need to dominate by a landslide, but simply to take their chances with precision. Tiziano Berretta, the attacking midfielder aged just 19, produced flashes of brilliance that made the difference: his 7.6 rating reflects a solid performance from a youngster who understands where to be. De Luca tried to keep his team in the match, but his 6.7 rating sums up a day when he could do little against visitors who knew how to take advantage. Mirko Gordon, in goal for Coca Juniors, protected a result that was never seriously threatened thanks to the defensive organisation maintained by his team-mates.
For Viejos Pellejos, it was a humbling lesson on matchday 1. It was not a disaster, but there was no room for error against a team that came to win. Rosenfeld completed an thankless task in midfield, Arrigorriaga was the best performer in the home defence, but the reality is simple: Coca Juniors were superior and took everything without drama.
