corcho junior1 - 0Deportivo Mataderos Veteranos

El Porvenir de Montserrat did not need to play football of antological quality to overcome Deportivo Mataderos Veteranos in the fifth matchday of Primera I de la GBA Sur. A goal from Jonathan Vita was enough for the home side to take a victory that, more than brilliant, was thoroughly deserved in a match where both 4-4-2 systems respected each other without offering too many concessions. It was a tight contest, the sort where the margin between winning and drawing always hovered on the edge of a well-executed tactical detail or a defensive lapse.

El Porvenir found in Vita, the 27-year-old left-back born in Resistencia, the precise tool to break the deadlock. With a rating of 7.2, he was not the best on the pitch but he was the most decisive when it mattered. Renzo Ramos, a 31-year-old midfielder who picked up a yellow card during the match, tried to be the side’s attacking engine with his 7.7 rating, while Genaro Padín up front and the Paraguayan Héctor Greco on the left carried out holding and transition duties without too much embellishment. Deportivo Mataderos failed to create consistent danger: Cacho Castaño, that 16-year-old youngster who plays on the right wing, got minutes but without the defensive judgement the match required, while Hernán Aresti, the Tandil midfielder with his tic of touching his eyebrow, was nullified by the home midfield’s constant pressure.

The difference in ratings ultimately proved decisive: El Porvenir’s men looked more solid collectively, with Francisco Arena in defence, only 19 years old, showing surprising maturity. Mataderos left without a clear answer, and although Ethan Castellano on the left tried to create danger, the home defence was attentive enough. For El Porvenir, three points that strengthen their progress in the zone. For Mataderos, there is the taste of a winnable match that was lost.
