Guillermo Brown 1-0 Villa Mitre
Argentine Regional Federal Championship (ARFC) – Matchday 12 | May 11, 2026

Guillermo Brown edged past stubborn visitors Villa Mitre 1-0 at the Estadio Raúl Conti, extending their unbeaten run at home to five matches and tightening their grip on a mid-table playoff spot.

Match Overview

A single goal in the 23rd minute proved decisive. Home striker Federico Costas rose highest to meet a corner delivered by winger Franco Peralta, planting a header past Villa Mitre keeper Agustín Roldán. From that point onward, Guillermo Brown protected their lead with discipline and organization.

Villa Mitre had chances to equalize. Their best came just after the hour mark when midfielder Lucas Lencina struck the woodwork from 18 yards, the ball rebounding to safety. The visitors pushed forward in the final quarter-hour but found Guillermo Brown’s defense, marshaled by captain Rodrigo Alarcón, impenetrable.

Tactical Story

The match was a battle of contrasting styles. Guillermo Brown, playing a direct 4-4-2, bypassed Villa Mitre’s midfield press by launching long balls toward target man Costas. Villa Mitre preferred patient buildup but lacked the final pass to break the home side’s deep block.

With 10 minutes remaining, Villa Mitre switched to a 3-4-3 and overloaded the flanks, but crosses were dealt with confidently by Guillermo Brown’s aerially dominant center-backs.

Standout Performers

• Federico Costas (Guillermo Brown) – His decisive header and hold-up play occupied Villa Mitre’s backline all game.
• Rodrigo Alarcón (Guillermo Brown) – The captain made six clearances, two blocks, and won every aerial duel he contested.
• Lucas Lencina (Villa Mitre) – Denied by the woodwork but remained Villa Mitre’s most dangerous creator.

Table Impact

Guillermo Brown moves up to 11th, now level on points with the top-eight qualification zone for the promotion playoffs. Villa Mitre stays 13th, four points adrift of safety, with their winless streak extending to three matches. The pressure is mounting on their manager to find attacking solutions.
