CR Parque Patricios did not need to show off in GBA Oeste. Against Prov. Flores at home, they dominated with the clarity of a side that knows its surroundings. The 2-0 was a comfortable result that reflected, without drama, the difference in purpose between the two teams. Both sides lined up in a balanced 4-4-2, but Parque Patricios found greater fluency in building play from midfield onwards. Flores arrived without clear answers and left Patricios without having created anything that genuinely caused concern.
Chino Rossini was the forward who made the difference in attack. The 24-year-old, developed through the club's academy, was a constant presence and the catalyst for the hosts' most dangerous moves. His 7.7 rating was justified by every foray forward. In defence, Axel Valli fulfilled his role without any alarms, despite picking up a yellow card that occasionally left him walking a tightrope. The 31-year-old centre-back, a veteran of patagonia brava, remains a reliable anchor point. On the right, Máximo Vicente brought attacking clarity to his forward runs, while Manu Riva, at 36, showed that experience still counts on the pitch. For the visitors, both Joaco Sartori and Oscar Sciotti (with ratings of 6.6 and 6.5 respectively) went through the afternoon without managing to get into dangerous positions. Defender José Galván tried to organise things at the back, but the Flores team never found the thread that would bind the match together.
The victory leaves CR Parque Patricios in a comfortable position in the table, with a well-drilled performance that required no theatrics. Prov. Flores will have to rethink how to arrive with a convincing plan for their next fixtures. The 2-0 difference is the exact picture of the match: one team functioned, the other could not.
