Chilly and rainy, the typical Buenos Aires atmosphere pressured the players before the match. In this setting, Vélez Sarsfield applied a clear strategy: possession and high pressing. With a well-defined 4-3-3 formation, their intention was to dominate the midfield and limit All Boys' gameplay.

R. Aliendro, as previously mentioned, was central to this strategy. His role was not just to recover balls but also to initiate plays from the back. The partnership with T. Andrada and T. Marchiori in the midfield was key to maintaining flow in the attack. This was reflected in the statistics: Vélez Sarsfield held 65% possession during the match, a clear indication of their dominance.

the return to the starting lineup of D. Domínguez brought defensive solidity. His interventions in the area prevented All Boys from generating clear chances. The performance of the defensive line was outstanding, maintaining control against the opponents' advances. Each interception and clearance was met with applause from the fans.

Vélez Sarsfield achieved an important victory thanks to their structured approach. What is clear is that high pressing and ball control are not just a simple plan but a philosophy the team is adopting for this season.
