Tactical Story

San Telmo’s early aggression gave way to defensive disorganisation after the equaliser. Manager Marcelo Vázquez switched to a back three, but the experiment failed to contain Chaco For Ever’s pace on the wings. The visitors, coached by Héctor Storti, employed a direct counter-attacking style that exploited the spaces behind San Telmo’s full-backs. Their midfield trio of Federico Cos, Nahuel Oviedo, and Gonzalo Martínez won the second‑ball battles, enabling quick transitions.

• Jonathan Herrera – Scored San Telmo’s only goal, but was largely isolated.
