Chaco defeated Hisca Nacional 5:1 in the Regular Season fifth round of Nacional B on 2026-09-20. The hosts had lost to their visitors 2:4 just thirteen days earlier, so the result came as something of a shock to those watching from the stands. To be fair, Hisca Nacional arrived in reasonable form, sitting second with six points from three games while Chaco languished fourth on three.
And here's the thing about this match — it was not the sort of game you can predict from the table. The visitors had won twice and lost once before kickoff, while the home side had managed only a single victory from their opening four fixtures. Yet Chaco came out and stretched the back line from the first whistle, not waiting for any lull in the visitors' rhythm.
The scoreboard told a simple story but the performance told a different one. Chaco held their nerve after taking the lead and extended their unbeaten run to two matches, whereas Hisca Nacional saw their winning streak brought to an end. By then the visitors had already conceded more goals in this single match than they had in their previous three combined.
What the result means for the standings is worth noting. Chaco remain fourth but have now accumulated four points from five games, closing the gap on the teams above them. Hisca Nacional drop to third on six points after their first defeat, and the table goes out of the window in these games anyway — form shifts quickly at this level.
