N. Estrella Floresta and General Pueyrredón de Constitución shared the points in a match that reflected two teams with similar set-ups but without the necessary clarity to tip the balance in their favour. The 1-1 was fair, perhaps even generous to both, considering that neither managed to impose their game in the decisive moments. Two 4-4-2 formations with balanced mentalities that cancelled each other out over the ninety minutes, with neither side daring to break the tactical mould.
Santino Palomeque was the one who put the home side in front. The 25-year-old defensive midfielder, who carries tales of Patagonia in his boots, found space in the visitors' box and finished with precision. His 7.2 rating justified the goal, although it was not a match of complete dominance for him. For Pueyrredón, Samuel Pelletti responded with character: the striker from Comodoro Rivadavia, the one who carries the hard memories of childhood in his left eyebrow, levelled the score when his team needed it most. Tomi Verdi, a right-sided midfielder, was the link in that move. Silvio Lagos, central midfielder from Concordia, tried to organise things from the middle for the home side but did not have the level needed to change the tone of the match. With a 6.5 rating, he did his job without shining.
The draw leaves a feeling of chances wasted. N. Estrella Floresta did not make the most of home advantage, while Pueyrredón de Constitución, with Marcelo Sgarbi solid in defence from the right flank, took a valuable point from away from home. Both will keep chasing victory in the next matchdays, but this match confirmed that when two teams arrive evenly matched in set-up and mentality, a draw is what is left over.
