San Martín San Juan — Nueva Chicago: 1:0, Primera Nacional

San Martín de San Juan beat Nueva Chicago 1:0 in the Primera Nacional regular season, round 17, on 26 August 2026. The home side took all three points at their own ground, closing out a match that lived and died on a single moment.

There was not much to separate the sides early on. Aguilera came off the bench in the eleventh minute, a change that looked routine at the time. Murillo picked up a booking fourteen minutes in, Bergara followed suit twenty-eight minutes later, and then came the moment that mattered.

Jaurena found the net in the thirty-sixth minute. He was the only one who connected properly, and here's the thing — the rest of the half offered little beyond that. Nueva Chicago went looking for an equaliser but never quite got close.

By then the statistics told the story plainly enough. San Martín held 61 per cent possession, registered five shots on target to zero for their visitors, and had one attempt off target. Nueva Chicago managed 55 attacks but could not turn them into anything meaningful.

The result keeps San Martín ninth with 38 points from 26 games, while Nueva Chicago sit fifteenth on 29 from 27. The home side will take confidence from a game they controlled, and the visitors will be left wondering where they lost it.
