Social y Deportivo Versalles1 - 0Atlético Belgrano R FC

Versalles did just enough on an afternoon where the tactical plans cancelled each other out and football was reduced to caution. With both sides banking on the safety of their 4-4-2, the match was settled in a grey area where the goal arrived without anyone being able to cry foul at the surprise. Gregorio Aranzeta, at 36, found the net in a game where experience ended up being the decisive factor. The Versalles striker, with almost four decades behind him, knew how to be where he needed to be at the right moment: that is the craft of someone who has spent half a lifetime learning to read defences. Belgrano did not come away beaten by overwhelming superiority, but by minor errors in execution, details that in Primera División were punished more than ever.

Mauro Bottani led the home midfield without any fuss, controlling the tempo with the assurance of someone who knows the game from the inside. Roberto Schiavone, in his role at right-back, carried out his defensive duty with the precision that marks him out: no panic, no fuss. Agustín Corona picked up a yellow card but maintained his presence in the attacking set-up. For the visitors, Mateo Godoy had scarcely any work in the goal, while León Villagra, the youngest midfielder in the side at just 18 years old, tried to create something in attack without finding much room. Dylan Rosenberg, the Brazilian full-back, moved assuredly in defence but could not offer anything down the flank.

What Belgrano took away was the certainty that they were tactically well set up, but lacked sharpness in the final metres. Versalles, by contrast, collected three points in a match where their experience weighed more than any risky surge forward. It is the old formula: in a battle where nobody wants to die, the one who strikes first takes the spoils. That is how it was on the pitch of Versalles on matchday 16.
