Argentino de Chacarita4 - 3Atlético Villa Chiche

Argentino de Chacarita came out on top in a goal-laden thriller against CR Barracas at Chacarita's pitch, with a 4-3 scoreline that summed up everything about matchday 8 in Primera I de CABA: uneven football, porous defences and two teams who chose to attack rather than protect themselves. Both line-ups set up in a 4-4-2 with balanced mentality on paper, but the reality was far more chaotic. The home side were not superior for the whole match, but they made the most of the moments when the visitors left themselves too exposed.

Leonel Solis, the 16-year-old midfielder who came through from Comodoro Rivadavia, became a nightmare for the away defence: he scored a goal and provided an assist with the ease of someone playing without pressure. Adriano Montero was also decisive from midfield with his goal and his pass for another. At the back, Marcelo Marichal scored from left-back and Walter Murat completed the home side's attacking contribution with his goal, though he was booked for dissent. For Barracas, Rocco Castro, Bruno Varisco and Misael Zanini all got on the scoresheet, but they lacked defensive solidity. The full-backs Felipe Zanforlin and Alexis Azqueta, the experienced 34-year-old veteran, each provided an assist without managing to contain Chacarita's attacks.

The result could have been worse for the visitors, who at one point were trailing by a considerable margin but fought back. However, that late response stopped them from turning around a match that Argentino de Chacarita controlled through well-worked attacking spells. For the home side, the three points at home are a boost of confidence; for Barracas, the defeat raises questions about a defence that is gifting goals far too generously.
