El Tradicional of Parque Chacabuco took a narrow victory on matchday 11 of Primera L - GBA Sur, edging out Argentinos de Chacarita by the odd goal in a match where both sides opted for tactical balance with few surprises. Aaron Greenberg’s goal was enough for the home side to pick up three points on a pitch that demanded patience and efficiency more than flair. Both teams fielded identical 4-4-2 line-ups and a balanced mindset, which ended up producing a scrappy match where the spaces closed down quickly.
The afternoon belonged to right-back Greenberg, who at 32 is still showing that his move to El Tradicional was the right call after years circulating through the lower divisions. The man from Córdoba scored the goal that settled the story, while Damián Bonincontro, the central midfielder developed in the Corrientes carpentry, was key in building the attacking play with an assist to his name. For Argentinos, Uriel Tellini in goal did what he could against a home side that knew how to manage the tempo. Osvaldo Aizpurua, the Bahía Blanca striker aged 38 who has spent a lifetime in professional football, could not find the space to do the damage he would have wanted.
The match reflected what happens in the leagues of the Buenos Aires hinterland: honest football, with no aesthetic pretensions, where efficiency rules. Bonincontro picked up a yellow card near the end, a sign that the physical battle intensified when El Tradicional pressed Argentinos. The visitors were left with the feeling that they had been in the match but without the finishing touch they needed in attack. For the home side, three precious points that strengthen their run in the section.
