Banco Cargado showed no mercy at home and dispatched Roja Directa FC with a 4-1 win that wrapped up matchday 2 of Primera G in GBA Sur. The home side imposed its game from the outset with a balanced 4-4-2 formation, finding in Lito Bernardini, the 36-year-old left winger, the outstanding figure of the match. The veteran from Merlo scored two goals with a rating of 8.4, showing that at thirty-six he still has the attacking power to settle matches. Rafael Braun completed the home rout with an additional goal, while Pocho Bidegain and Olivier Auza did their job out wide, although the latter picked up a yellow card for overzealous defending.
Roja Directa FC tried to line up with the same tactical structure, a balanced 4-4-2, but never found a way to halt the rival's attacking display. Edgardo Aranibar, the 39-year-old right winger from Comodoro Rivadavia, was the only one who managed to breach Banco Cargado's defence with a goal that prevented a full-scale hammering. Ian Rojas, the 28-year-old striker, provided an assist but it was not enough to change the course of the match; he also went into the book in his attempt to speed up the visitors' play.
The gap in execution was vast. Emanuel Arrizabalaga, the young Brazilian goalkeeper, eighteen years old, in the home goal, hardly had anything to do, while Banco Cargado's defence shut down spaces effectively. This was not a match of frantic transitions or attractive football, but one of clear superiority in taking chances. Banco Cargado are still in form, Roja Directa FC have work to do.
