Mercedes and Defensores de Cambasérres met in the Primera C Regular Season on Thursday evening, with the visitors leaving with a 3-0 win. The match concluded at the home ground without the kind of drama that usually marks these encounters. By then, the away side had already established control.
The visitors took their chances when they came. Mercedes managed more attacks overall — forty-eight compared to sixty-four — yet the scoreboard told a different story. To be fair, the home side kept possession at fifty-two percent but could not translate that into goals.
Shots on target tell the tale here. Defensores de Cambasérres registered three attempts on goal and scored from two of them, while Mercedes offered only two shots on target with none finding the net. The visitors were sharper in front of goal, and that showed.
Defensive discipline mattered more than possession in this one. Mercedes picked up three yellow cards and zero reds, while the visitors received just two yellows. The away side completed ten goal kicks to the hosts' zero — a sign they were under more pressure to clear their lines.
The result moves Defensores de Cambasérres closer to the middle of the table, where they currently sit tenth with twenty-nine points from twenty-six games. Mercedes remain eighth on thirty-six points, but this loss cuts into their cushion. The gap between them narrows.
