Sociedad Parque Centenario arrived in Villa Urquiza and came away with a thrashing that leaves no room for interpretation. A three-goal victory away from home, on matchday 2 of the Primera L de GBA Sur, is the kind of result that speaks for itself: the side from La Matanza were superior from start to finish, while the home team never found a way to stop the opposition attack or pose a threat in the other penalty area. Both set-ups looked balanced on paper — four defenders, four in midfield, two up front — but the difference lay in who executed better and who mentally fell apart after the first blows.
Mirko Medina, the experienced thirty-three-year-old midfielder who left Resistencia to build a career in football in Greater Buenos Aires, was one of the most active players in attack and scored one of the goals that defined the story of the match. Cacho Galli, a young Merlo forward hungry for promotion, also found the back of the net. Uriel Schiavi completed the scoring, although he picked up a yellow card in the process. Leonel Marín, the twenty-year-old defensive midfielder, provided an assist on a day when Centenario moved intelligently around the pitch. For the home side, Nahue Pedraza — the nineteen-year-old centre-back who arrived at Villa Urquiza almost by chance — could not prevent the defensive collapse, nor could Fede Kowalczyk in goal make much of a difference with his reflexes.
What this match left behind is an uncomfortable reality for Villa Urquiza: having a balanced formation is not enough if the opposition executes with greater precision and conviction. Sociedad Parque Centenario took three points away from home and strengthened their position in the group. The home side must now work on rebuilding quickly, because in this division setbacks as severe as this can have an impact on the rest of the season.
