Leones de Rosario saw off Defensores de Cambasieres 2-0 in Primera C regular season action on Sunday. The home side took all three points at their ground, with goals from G. Britos and C. Bonesso securing the result. By then, the visitors had already begun to look uncomfortable after falling behind so early.
Britos opened the scoring in the 14th minute, giving the hosts an advantage they would not relinquish. The goal came from a well-worked move that caught the visitors off guard. And here's the thing about early goals — they change how a match unfolds, forcing the chasing side to take risks they might otherwise avoid.
Bonesso doubled the lead just after the quarter-hour mark, firing home in the 35th minute to put the game beyond doubt. The visitors could not respond, their attempts to get back into the contest lacking cohesion. To be fair, they had created chances but failed to convert them.
The statistics showed a match where both sides had similar attacking output. Rosario registered 115 attacks compared to 111 for the visitors, while shots on target stood at 5-4 in their favour. Possession was split 56-44, but the difference in efficiency told the real story.
With the win, Rosario remained in third place with 43 points from 27 games. Defensores de Cambasieres stayed in 10th position on 32 points, their recent form failing to produce consistency. The result extended the home side's unbeaten run while leaving the visitors still searching for stability.
