La cuarta1 - 1Vet. Saavedra

Argentinos de Barracas and Vet. Saavedra shared the points in a fixture where both sides showed similar tactical nous but little capacity to break the deadlock. The final 1-1 was a fair reflection of a match in which neither wanted to take too many risks, and where the goals came almost by chance, with neither side managing to build any clear superiority over the ninety minutes.

Dylan Ruffini opened the scoring for the home side with a solid display in midfield that allowed him to arrive in shooting positions. The 19-year-old Brazilian midfielder, rating 7.2, showed the defensive solidity that defines him but also knew how to push forward when the opportunity arose. Pancho Arazandi had a busy afternoon between the sticks, with key interventions that kept him in the match; the yellow cards went to the home goalkeeper and to Cristian Gallardo on the visitors' side. Maximiliano Vecchi, the 31-year-old Paraguayan striker, was responsible for restoring parity with a goal that sealed an even share of the chances. The experienced Vet. Saavedra attacker, with rating 6.9, completed an afternoon of limited but effective attacking movement when he got on the ball.

Both sides' 4-4-2 shapes made for a compact, tight match, where full-backs such as Benicio Krüger for Argentinos did their job as a holding presence without any pretence of creating imbalance. Octavio Ponce, a 36-year-old striker with plenty of miles on the clock, was more presence than protagonist in attack. Vet. Saavedra left Walter Gordillo out there, who at 22 is still unable to find the consistency needed to make a difference. The draw leaves both in the middle section of the table without major damage but without significant progress either.
