Match report
Belgrano Villa Crespo and Defensa Retiro Oeste shared the points in a match where neither managed to get the upper hand. The final 1-1 reflected two sides with similar plans who cancelled each other out over the ninety minutes, on a matchday where the details were scant and the emotions were kept in check. Both came through evenly to the finishing phase without either being able to seal the win.
Darío Zaccaro was the one to open the scoring for the home side with a goal that made the most of the work from the right-sided midfielder, while Theo Zimei provided the assist in a move where the visiting defence failed to react in time. Defensa Retiro Oeste found an answer through Pocho Wolf, the Colombian attacking midfielder aged just seventeen, who levelled matters with a clinical finish. The visiting youngster showed composure in the box, that fearless touch some youngsters have when they do not yet have years on their back to doubt themselves. For his part, Axel Aramburu, the central midfielder aged thirty-seven who carries stories of Comodoro Rivadavia on his back, tried to keep things balanced in the middle for the home side, although experience no longer is enough for the more intense tussles. Liam Muñoz on the left was booked in a game where the fouls were shared out without drama. Ian Arechavaleta had his chances up front for the visitors, though without the clarity needed to make them count. Gonzalo Simoni, the twenty-one-year-old striker from Resistencia, could not find the space Belgrano needed to stretch the lead.
The draw leaves both teams with mixed feelings. For Belgrano Villa Crespo, taking a point at home is always not enough when you have opened the scoring. For Defensa Retiro Oeste, the point rescued away from home carries more value, although Ángel Aldazabal and the rest of the central defence know they made mistakes that could have cost more dearly. A difficult matchday in the area.
