Match report
Argentino de Chacarita and CJ Villa del Parque shared the points in a match that confirmed goalless draw as the fairest result. Two sides with identical set-ups—both in balanced 4-4-2—who sought not to lose before trying to win, producing an afternoon of football without too much excitement but not lacking in attempts. Chacarita's pitch witnessed a match where defence took precedence over attack, where both back lines found in Jesús Rizzo and his opposite number away from home two attentive guardians apiece.
Rizzo, the goalkeeper aged just twenty and born in Patagonia, was more of a steady presence than a decisive figure. His rating of 6.9 reflects that constant watchful work, without major risky interventions but alert to any lapse. In the opposition's academy, Pichu Michel — a Bahía Blanca centre-back aged 22 with a rating of 7 — was solid in the away defence, while Thiago Zalla, the 34-year-old veteran from Merlo, showed his experience at right-back for Villa del Parque. Damián Verde, in his role as the home full-back, carried out his defensive duties with little else to note: a 6.9 rating for an afternoon where the full-backs were more about containment than attacking intent.
Coco Volpi, Chacarita's 23-year-old central midfielder with a rating of 6.4, tried to be the engine in midfield but could not find the space to break the rival block. CJ Villa del Parque knew how to maintain their structure, aware that in this Primera I de CABA, on matchday 5, a point away from home was no bad business. In the end, both sides left with a sense of a missed opportunity but also damage kept under control: a goalless draw in which nobody yielded ground, but neither did anyone truly convince too much.
