All Boys Reserves Edge Ferrocarril Midland 1–0 in Tight Reserve League Contest
May 27, 2026 – Buenos Aires

All Boys Reserves ground out a narrow 1–0 victory over Ferrocarril Midland Reserves in the Argentine Reserve League on Thursday evening. A lone first-half goal proved enough for the home side, who defended resolutely to claim all three points at the Islas Malvinas training ground.

First-Half Decider

The only goal of the match arrived in the 34th minute. All Boys midfielder Lautaro Espinoza latched onto a loose ball inside the box and fired a half-volley past Ferrocarril Midland’s keeper. The goal was the result of sustained pressure from the hosts, who had earlier hit the crossbar through a header from defender Mateo Acosta.

Gritty Defensive Display

Ferrocarril Midland Reserves improved after the break, enjoying more possession and creating a few chances. However, All Boys’ back four, led by centre-back Facundo López, stood firm. Goalkeeper Tomás Vega made two crucial saves in the second half – diving low to deny a long-range effort in the 62nd minute and then tipping a header over the bar in the 78th.

Key Performances

• Tomás Vega (All Boys) – Calm and assured, his saves kept the clean sheet intact.
