Mutual Catán1 - 1Casa Croata de Luján

Mutual Catán and Casa Croata de Luján shared the points in a match where both 4-4-2 set-ups cancelled each other out in relative balance. The 1-1 result was fair overall, although in certain phases of the match each side had chances to tip the scales their way. GBA Oeste Primera F began with a mid-table classic where dynamism was in short supply, but there was no shortage of intensity in the battle for the ball.

Ezequiel Fernández opened the scoring for the hosts with a goal that confirmed his good performance on the pitch. The thirty-year-old striker maintained a steady threat in attack, backed by Beto Arrojo’s work from central midfield. Arrojo, still only a nineteen-year-old youngster from Comodoro Rivadavia, showed great composure in possession and created the assist that led to the goal. His contribution was notable considering his youth and the responsibility of playing in that defensive holding role. Pipa Balerdi, for his part, held the defence together from right-back without major complications.

Casa Croata did not give up and found the equaliser through Negro Tognoni, who at twenty-four finished clinically when the chance came. Tognoni, that San Miguel striker with no fuss but precise execution, levelled the scores. Genaro Yacante was solid at left-back for the visitors, while Víctor Parra contributed from the right wing with the pace required. Pichi Koch completed the holding line with a constant presence. The draw reflected the evenly matched calibre of both sides: neither allowed the other to play, neither imposed its game in an overwhelming way. One point each was the fairest outcome at the end of the opening matchday.
