Juventud de Bernal 1-5 Deportivo Metalurgico: A Crushing Away Victory in the ARFC League

Deportivo Metalurgico delivered a comprehensive thrashing of Juventud de Bernal on 30 June 2026, winning 5-1 away in the highly competitive ARFC (Argentine Regional Football) League. The visitors’ attacking firepower proved too much for a disjointed home defence.

Match Overview

From the first minute, Deportivo Metalurgico asserted their superiority. Their high-tempo passing game sliced through Juventud de Bernal’s midfield repeatedly. The opening goal came in the 12th minute after a swift counter-attack, finished by veteran striker Luis Galletti. By half-time, the visitors had raced to a 3-0 lead, with additional strikes from Federico Ortega (a stunning volley from 20 yards) and Matias Lencina (a precise header from a corner).

Second Half Surge

Juventud de Bernal attempted a comeback after the break, pulling one back in the 53rd minute through a penalty converted by Gaston Chavez. However, any hope of a revival was short-lived. Deportivo Metalurgico restored their three-goal cushion just five minutes later, when Luis Galletti scored his second of the night with a powerful drive from inside the box. The 5-1 final goal arrived in the 82nd minute, as substitute Rodrigo Ferreyra tapped in a low cross.

Standout Performer: Luis Galletti

The experienced forward showed why he remains a key asset for Metalurgico, bagging a brace and creating numerous chances with his hold-up play and movement. His chemistry with the midfield trio was a constant headache for the Juventud defence.

Game Impact

The victory lifts Deportivo Metalurgico into the top four of the ARFC table, while Juventud de Bernal slide further into the relegation battle. Defensive organisation will be a major focus for the home side in the coming weeks.
