Henevis put themselves in pole position at the top of the Apertura table with a comfortable 3-0 win over Platense at home on Friday night. The hosts made it three points from three after winning their opening fixture, while Platense remain rooted to the bottom half of the standings after three rounds.
The breakthrough came early, with D. Nunez finding the net in the second minute to set the tone. Platense looked rattled, and that first goal shifted the momentum before either side had time to settle. By then, the visitors were already chasing shadows, and the pattern would not change.
B. Felix doubled the advantage just before the interval, capitalising on a moment of space in the penalty area. The second goal let the game flow in Henevis' favour, and Platense's defence began to fragment under pressure. G. Welcome picked up a yellow card on the half-hour mark, but that was the only card for either side until the break.
E. Alderete made it 3-0 in the sixty-fourth minute, rounding off a performance that felt more controlled than many of these early-season fixtures. From there, Henevis managed the game with composure, bringing on fresh legs without rushing the tempo. B. Felix and D. Nunez were both replaced, while Platense had to make changes to avoid further embarrassment.
Statistics tell a partial story. Henevis had 47 per cent possession but dominated the final third, registering seven shots on target compared to Platense's two. The visitors enjoyed more possession overall, but it was possession without purpose, and they paid for it at both ends of the pitch.
And here's the thing about results like this — they do not always reflect the full picture, but they do reflect what matters. Henevis move into fourth place with ten points, three clear of the danger zone. Platense sit tenth with four points, and to be fair, they have work to do if they want to survive the season.
