Prov. Saavedra1 - 0Ferro Balvanera

Provincia de Saavedra took a victory that it knew how to manage against Ferro Balvanera on an afternoon when both sides arrived with similar set-ups and without much attacking ambition. The final 1-0 reflected well what happened on the pitch: a tight match, short on excitement, where the home side made the most of its moments to take the three points on matchday 7 of Primera L. Yoel Arratia scored the goal that decided the contest, with a display that allowed him to stand out on the right side of midfield despite not having his best evening. The Saavedra lads managed the tempo from the back, with Franco Mazur controlling the middle of the pitch from his role as holding midfielder, although without especially shining.

Saavedra's defensive pairing worked with solidity. Saúl Beltramo stood firm in the area without too many scares, while Leonel Casas did his job although he had to be careful after picking up a yellow card that left him walking a tightrope. Pipa Loncón, the team's youngest striker at just nineteen years old, did not get too many chances but was lively in attack. Ferro tried at times to create danger with Misael Arrojo in midfield and Lorenzo Egea up front, but neither of them found the space to do damage. Tomi Cortés, the visiting full-back, was outmatched on several occasions and picked up a yellow card that limited his actions in the second half.

The result leaves Saavedra with three valuable points in an area of the table where every win counts. Ferro, meanwhile, failed to trouble them enough and leaves empty-handed from a pitch where the home side always have the edge. It was a deserved win for the side that best knew how to pace its efforts, although neither team produced a memorable spectacle.
