Match report
Parque Centenario showed no mercy. Cooperativa San Telmo arrived at the home pitch with a balanced set-up and left empty-handed after a defeat that was more emphatic than the 3-0 suggests. The home side controlled the tempo, carried out their plan without dazzling too much and made the most of every chance that came their way. San Telmo found no tactical answers at any stage and piled up frustrations that ended up costing them in yellow cards. It was a match without surprises: the home team played at home as expected, the visitors could not break that order and the gap in quality did the rest.
Matías Bruschi opened the scoring from defence, a key goal that neatly sums up how Parque Centenario controlled the rhythm of the game. The 23-year-old centre-back made the most of his space and showed that, as well as defending, he is dangerous going forward. Lolo Bidegain, the veteran left winger, also found the back of the net. At 30, Bidegain remains a menace every time he gets on the ball. Adrián Escalante, the Uruguayan right winger, completed the rout and was consistent throughout the ninety minutes. Escalante was booked during the game, as were Bidegain and two San Telmo defenders. For the visitors, Kevin Rizzo did his job without asking for more up front, but his 37 years began to tell as the match swung against his side.
For Cooperativa San Telmo it was a harsh lesson. Emiliano Maldonado, the 16-year-old Brazilian centre-back, was exposed at crucial moments and saw yellow. Liam Baldini, the young Mendoza midfielder, failed to inject any tempo in the middle. Parque Centenario take three valuable points in the battle for the top spots in Primera I GBA Sur, while San Telmo will have to rethink their defensive strategies for the matches ahead.
