According to LaNumer12.com.ar, the 21-year-old formed an effective pairing with Leandro Paredes in midfield and delivered one of his standout displays. His interception in his own half launched the move that ended with Ascacibar's decisive finish.

Delgado completed the 90 minutes. In the final moments, Paredes was substituted and passed him the captain's armband, which he wore to the end.

Arruabarrena underlined Delgado's importance to his emerging first-choice side, portraying him as a tireless presence who quickly wins balls back. He contrasted Camilo Rey Domenech as more of a holding player and Delgado as more of an interior, adding both had earned their places from the academy through hunger.

On leadership, he said hierarchy on the pitch matters, yet several players could captain the team. He named Javier García and Blanco, acknowledged Paredes' influence, and stressed Delgado's youth.
