Match report
Sportivo Bragado left La Matanza with all three points after a match where both sides played with balance, but the visitors had that extra touch of composure to make the most of their chances. Atlético Despelote dominated spells of the game and could have gone ahead through goals, but the Bragado defence, with Tomi Zenatti producing a solid 7.6 rating, managed to contain the home side's waves of pressure. The 28-year-old centre-back was booked for his defensive intensity, but he was decisive in the moments that mattered. Up front, Maxwell Ramos showed up at the right moment to convert one of the visitors' goals, while Tito Galindo also got on the scoresheet from central midfield in a day when Bragado made the most of its chances without needing to produce spectacular football.
Yoel Leyva, Despelote's 26-year-old striker with a good 7.2 rating, scored the home goal but it was not enough to avoid defeat. The Patagonian centre-forward had opportunities to add more, but Sportivo Bragado tightened up defensively when needed. Dylan Bertoletti, the central midfielder aged just 19, contributed an assist in the home side's play and showed good ball circulation from midfield, although his 6.5 rating reflects that there is still work ahead for the San Miguel youngster.
The balanced mentality of both teams meant neither side ventured into complete imbalance, which played in Bragado's favour. Rolando Anchorena, the 28-year-old left-back, and Javier Levinson on the right kept the visitors' structure intact without major scares. It was a deserved win in Primera G, where Sportivo Bragado showed more certainty in the finish, while Despelote are left with the feeling of having dropped points on the pitch.
