El Tradicional de Monte Castro earned a deserved victory on the opening matchday of Primera H de CABA against Club de la Vejez Feliz, in a match where both teams set up in similar systems, but the home side made better use of their chances. The final 2-1 reflected the control exerted by the home team, although the visitors never stopped competing and managed to reduce the deficit in the closing minutes, creating a few scares that could have made the result more complicated.
Both teams lined up in a 4-4-2 with a balanced mentality, resulting in an end-to-end match in which neither side sought to impose total dominance. El Tradicional were more clinical in attack and knew how to exploit the spaces opening up in the visitors' defence. Club de la Vejez Feliz, for their part, contested every ball and created dangerous chances, but lacked precision when it mattered most.
