Match report

Los Patadas al Tobillo played solid football on the opening matchday of Primera G - GBA Norte to thrash Atlético Benavidez with a 3-0 victory that left no doubt about who was in charge on the pitch. With a balanced 4-4-2 formation, the home side found in Leonardo Yedlin, the 28-year-old right-back, its main attacking weapon. The Argentine defender scored two goals in a standout performance (rating 8.4) that confirms he can be much more than a conventional full-back. Yedlin, from Lanús, turned that potential a field assistant saw years ago in a neighbourhood friendly into a real figure in the squad. His physical drive and judgement were decisive in breaking the deadlock and sealing the match.

In midfield, Los Patadas al Tobillo controlled the tempo with Salvador Halim in the central area, who, although he received a yellow card, carried out his holding role without any major scares. Coco Rivero at left-back kept the defensive structure intact, while Damián Rainoldi, the 33-year-old centre-half from Bahía Blanca, used his experience at the back to neutralise any attacking attempt from the visitors. Lisandro Romagnoli in goal had little to do, a reflection of the team’s defensive solidity. Rainoldi’s yellow card was the only disciplinary incident in a defence that worked like a wall.

Atlético Benavidez arrived in La Plata with no answers. Damian Cantero, the 18-year-old midfielder, found himself trapped by the dynamism of an opponent that did not let him breathe. Benavidez also picked up a yellow card. Francisco Strozzi up front and Gianluca Zazzaroni as the playmaker tried to create something, but their efforts were not enough against a defence that gave up no space. The 3-0 was fair: Los Patadas al Tobillo began their campaign with a thumping win that bodes well for what is to come this season.
