Club José León Suárez were superior in every department and beat CSyD La Birra convincingly by 3 to 1 on matchday 2 of Primera G, GBA Oeste. The home side controlled the match from the outset with its balanced 4-4-2 shape, finding space in midfield where Calleo Pinto moved about confidently. The central midfielder from Córdoba was booked for his intensity in the challenges, but he was one of the pillars that allowed the play to flow from the back. Gabi Bertolini, the 29-year-old Uruguayan attacking midfielder, also saw yellow in a display where he combined judgement with valuable technical touches in the build-up to attack. Kevin Ocampo was decisive in defence and crowned his display with a goal that sealed the home side's dominance. The central defender from Patagonia popped up in the box when needed.
Lucas Avanzi, just a youngster of 19 developed in Comodoro Rivadavia, also scored and showed that he has a place in the squad. His 7.2 rating reflects a solid afternoon for the young striker, who provided movement and constant pressure. Claudio Hartmann, the teenage goalkeeper also from Patagonia, did not have much to do but was alert at the moments he was needed.
CSyD La Birra tried with their balanced 4-4-2 setup, but could not sustain that level of complexity. Noé Goñi, the 30-year-old striker from Neuquén, pulled one back with a goal that allowed the away side to avoid leaving empty-handed. However, the defence was porous and the home attacks always found a way through. José León Suárez deserved the win comfortably, with a collective performance that vastly outclassed the opposition. Matchday 2 left a clear winner on the pitch.
