Club Atlético Santa Rosa0 - 2Unión Palermo Hollywood

Unión Palermo Hollywood arrived at Pompeya's pitch and took away a resounding victory that leaves no room for doubt about who was superior on matchday 20. The visitors won 2-0 in a match where the tactical balance — both teams were playing 4-4-2 — proved to be little more than a surface line, masking deeper differences in execution and game management. Pompeya, playing at home, failed to find answers to a rival who knew how to pace its efforts and make the most of its moments of clarity. The result was a comfortable win that bodes well for the Palermo Hollywood side in the Primera L de CABA table.

Pompeya's goalkeeper, Santi Rojo, had an uncomfortable afternoon. At just 21 and with a rating of 6.5, the young man from Bahía Blanca with port origins was exposed by an away side that built its attacks with purpose. At the other end, Iván Matos — a 30-year-old goalkeeper with a rating of 7.6, one of the standout performers of the match — was virtually untroubled. The Unión Palermo Hollywood defence, with Lucho Beristain in the centre of the back line, worked compactly and securely. Gianluca Mora, the home side's 26-year-old central midfielder, tried to be a holding presence, but the numerical superiority the opposition generated in different phases of the game left him alone in the face of an unfavourable context.

The goals arrived without excessive drama. Unión Palermo Hollywood found in Pichu Kovaleski and Gonzalo Ulloa the names that appeared on the scoresheet as scorers. Kovaleski, the 28-year-old defensive midfielder with a rating of 7.2, made the most of his reading of the game. Ulloa, the left midfielder, just 21 but with a solid rating of 7.2, also got on the scoresheet. The visitors' central midfield duo — Milton Vitalini, 30 years old and rated 7.4, together with Kovaleski's contribution — knew how to maintain control without being spectacular, but they were effective. Pompeya created little in attack. Gabriel Santamaría, the newly added 16-year-old right-back, carried out his defensive duties without causing problems, though he obviously lacks the attacking influence demanded by modern football.

The match reflected two different ambitions at the same level of the line-ups. Unión Palermo Hollywood arrived with a settled team, several of its players in their prime, and in no rush whatsoever. Pompeya, with younger or less established players, could not force the tempo. The visitors' win is a fair one, though not a spectacular one. Another afternoon of Primera L football where the side that read the match better took the victory, without needing outbursts or theatrics.
