Sociedad Villa Lugano did not give any room to doubts at home and thrashed Círculo Parque Avellaneda with authority on matchday 10 of Primera I in GBA Sur. The 3-1 final score reflects the difference between both squads, although the visitors had spells where they pressed and even pulled one back with a goal from Zaid Meyer. The home side, lined up in a 4-4-2 and with a balanced mentality, found enough space to put the game to bed early.
Eduardo Sevilla was lethal in attack: he scored one of the goals and laid on an assist, picking up a yellow card along the way that did not halt his performance (7.4 rating). Leonel Bastianelli, a creator in his prime at 26, also got on the scoresheet with a composed display. At the back, Brian Iglesias hardly needed to perform miracles in goal; at 18, the young goalkeeper enjoyed a quiet afternoon that allowed him to grow without pressure. Brian Jiménez, a 32-year-old midfielder with experience to sell, controlled the right flank intelligently, though without any extraordinary flashes. Enzo Borghi finished off the attack with a presence, though without breaking any glass.
Círculo Parque Avellaneda could not find the formula to counter a more solid opponent. Santi Pawlak, the visitors' 24-year-old playmaker, barely influenced the game and provided an assist as his best contribution (6.5). Meyer was the only one to get off lightly on the defeated side when he scored the consolation goal, but it was not enough. Villa Lugano continue their upward run with a comfortable win that leaves them in a contender's position. For the Avellaneda side, the task is to acknowledge that they lacked intensity from the very first minute and that against stronger sides that costs dearly.
