La cuarta2 - 0Unión Balvanera

Argentinos de Barracas left no room for doubt on matchday 10 of Primera I GBA Oeste. With a 2-0 victory over Unión Balvanera, the home side confirmed their superiority in a match where both teams set up similarly, but the hosts made their chances count with greater conviction. The goals came from Pocho Beitia and Dylan Ruffini, two very different players who embodied the team’s performance that afternoon: experience and youth working towards the same goal.

Beitia, a 31-year-old forward who has played for several clubs, scored with the efficiency that comes with maturity. Dylan Ruffini, the just 19-year-old Brazilian midfielder who arrived in Argentina almost by chance a few years ago, also got on the scoresheet and showed that his defensive solidity goes hand in hand with an ability to make an impact at decisive moments. In defence, Pancho Arazandi fulfilled his role without any scares between the sticks; the 23-year-old goalkeeper from Córdoba maintained the concentration that characterises his game. Faustino Chaile, a 30-year-old full-back with deep roots at the club, controlled his flank without too much trouble. Cristian Koch was a more than reliable figure at the back, keeping the defensive line intact.

Unión Balvanera found no openings in attack. Román Vicente, the 19-year-old forward, could not find his finishing touch and faded from the game. Tincho Montoya had little to do in the visitors’ goal, but that in itself reflected how little his team managed to threaten. Yamil Vega, the 28-year-old left-back, picked up a yellow card that restricted his movement afterwards. The result was fair: Argentinos controlled the tempo, while Unión Balvanera had no clear response.
