CR Paternal2 - 1AD Villa Urquiza

CR Paternal took a win they knew how to manage against AD Villa Urquiza in a match where both well-balanced set-ups ended up being synonymous with home effectiveness. The final 2-1 reflects what happened on the pitch: a tight encounter where the details made the difference and where Paternal made better use of their chances. Villa Urquiza did not come away beaten by chance, but nor can they complain of injustice in a result that the visitors had an opportunity to change if they had been more clinical in the second half.

The match was decided by Polaco Venturini's finishing, and at thirty-three he remains the home side's attacking reference. The striker scored twice and was the main reason Paternal kept their lead in the critical moments. From midfield, Adrián Vassalli — just a youngster of eighteen — was the architect with two assists that gave the home side some breathing room. In midfield, Nico Salvatierra organised the play with his experience, while Edgardo Ortega on the left was a constant outlet to break forward. Milton Tomé in defence picked up a yellow card but fulfilled his containment role. For the visitors, Tadeo Calabretta managed to pull one back with a goal that showed his trademark skill, although at thirty-seven it cost him to maintain his influence throughout the whole match.

Paternal deserve this win because in the tense moments they knew how to be more practical. Villa Urquiza went looking for it in the second half, but the distances set by the home defence and the solidity of the 4-4-2 system ended up being decisive. For ELDT, these three points on matchday 14 of Primera L GBA Sur consolidate Paternal in the fight for the top places. Villa Urquiza leave with the feeling that they competed, but also with the certainty that they left valuable points along the way.
