Deportivo Riestra 0:1 CA Barracas Central — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Gonzalo Maroni struck in the 72nd minute as Barracas Central edged Deportivo Riestra 0-1 in the Superliga, the midfielder’s goal settling a contest that had simmered without a spark until the final quarter. The win lifts Barracas on the road, though with no next fixture confirmed, their immediate path remains open.

The turning point arrived when Tomás Porra threaded the pass that Maroni converted, breaking a stalemate shaped by early bookings for Nicolas Watson and Facundo Bruera. Barracas controlled the second half more assertively, and Maroni’s finish proved decisive, with Rodrigo Insúa and the scorer himself later cautioned as Riestra pushed for an equaliser that never came.

Statistics show Barracas dominated possession at 60%, and their xG of 1.15 outstripped Riestra’s 0.63, despite the hosts firing 12 shots to their ten. The second half told the truer story: Barracas generated 1.12 xG to Riestra’s 0.24, having laboured through a first period where the home side held a 0.39 to 0.04 edge. Maroni was the standout, his rating of 7.8 and the winning goal from midfield defining the night, even as his late yellow marred the gloss.
