Equipo de Mi Hijo secured a deserved victory on the opening day of Primera G de CABA, with a narrow win at Siempre Perdemos FC's stadium. The 1-0 was the outcome of a tight match where both teams lined up in identical 4-4-2 formations, but the away side had the composure to make the most of its few chances. Toño Calegari, a 26-year-old striker who carries a scar on his eyebrow as a mark of his intensity, was the man to score the goal that decided the first matchday. The man from Tandil scored in a match where Siempre Perdemos FC failed to create any sustained danger, despite the presence of Carlos Bonincontro in midfield, a 33-year-old midfielder who arrived at the Mendoza club almost by chance.
The home defence had a few scares. Tiziano Rosenfeld in goal, just 25 years old, could do little about the strike. Uriel Berraondo, the 29-year-old right-back from Comodoro Rivadavia, was booked and came under constant pressure. Lolo Luna, his 31-year-old opposite number for the visitors, was decisive at right-back for the winning side, providing the assist that led to the goal and moving the ball with ease in an area where Siempre Perdemos had no precise defensive answers.
Equipo de Mi Hijo functioned to the rhythm set by Nano Cano, their 26-year-old playmaker who shone with a rating of 7.7. Midfielder Omar Jara, a 21-year-old Paraguayan, handled the ball intelligently, while Mati Toledo, the 22-year-old centre-back from Comodoro Rivadavia, read the rival's attacking movements well. The visitor's three yellow cards speak of a bruising but even match, where in the end effectiveness prevailed over territorial control.
