Match report
Deportivo Caballito Veteranos took a well-earned victory on matchday 14 of Primera I GBA Norte, beating N. Estrella Boedo 2-1 in a match where both defences kept things level until individual details decided the outcome. At Estadio de Caballito, the home side imposed their status as hosts without overwhelming anyone, using a 4-4-2 that found its effectiveness out wide and through midfield circulation. Berasategui pulled one back for the visitors with a goal that kept hope alive, but the home side knew how to manage their lead in the closing minutes without allowing any major scares.
José Mata was the star of the home win after scoring one of the goals, making the most of his pace on the right flank to break the visitors’ defensive structure. Ricardo Lorca in Caballito’s goal did his job without needing spectacular saves, backed by centre-backs Galo Schulz and Pablo Hoyos, both booked for their defensive intensity. In midfield, balance was the constant: N. Estrella Boedo had in Tato Etcheverry, a youngster of just 17, their most interesting attacking weapon, setting up Berasategui’s goal. The Chilean winger was not a constant threat, but when he found space he showed his ability to make the difference.
The visitors did not give up despite the defeat. With both sides thinking along similar lines, without taking excessive risks, the match turned into a tactical battle where the team that read the available spaces best took the points. Caballito strengthened their place in the table with this weighty victory, while Boedo will need to rethink their attacking approach if they intend to challenge at the top in the coming matchdays. A functional match that left the home side satisfied and the visitors with work to do.
