Sportivo Once Norte dominated Unión Balvanera without any trouble on matchday 14 of Primera I in GBA Oeste, winning 2-0 in a result that reflected the home side’s superiority. With both teams lining up in a 4-4-2 and adopting balanced approaches, the match held few surprises: the hosts executed their ideas better, while the visitors never found convincing answers. Jeremías Bernasconi and Ruso Rojas scored the goals that ultimately settled an uneventful match in which Unión Balvanera barely managed to trouble Damian Muñoz in the home goal.
Once Norte’s goalkeeper had a quiet afternoon, although the yellow card he received helped him maintain his concentration levels. The home defence performed solidly: Seba Berasategui in the centre and Agustín Bertolino on the left did a dependable job of containing the opposition without needing any great heroics. In attack, Bernasconi — a forward who knows his way to goal in this division — took advantage of the spaces opened up for him by the midfield to score. Ruso Rojas, thirty-one but still hungry for goals, sealed the three points in the second half. Iñaki Saracho leading Balvanera’s attack (rating 6.7) never managed to create any real danger, while Tincho Montoya in the visitors’ goal had barely any notable interventions. Bautista Boni, their twenty-four-year-old centre-back, had to deal with an attack that caused little trouble but offered no reassurance either.
The comfortable victory allows Sportivo Once Norte to breathe easier in the local table. Unión Balvanera, meanwhile, leave the western zone without any points and with a worrying attacking record. It was not a match for in-depth analysis, but rather confirmation that when the approaches are evenly matched, the team that executes its plan better wins. That was all.
