All Boys and Chaco For Ever played out a 0-0 draw in the Primera Nacional's Regular Season round 27 on Saturday evening. The fixture ended without a goal despite both sides registering shots on target, with the hosts managing four attempts to their visitors' single effort.
The match was characterised by a steady stream of substitutions, beginning with A. Ojeda's introduction for All Boys in the twenty-fourth minute. Chaco For Ever responded by bringing on A. Lioi at the start of the second half, and L. Fernandez followed for the hosts in the fifty-third minute. By then the pattern was clear—neither manager was prepared to take risks with a game already balanced on a knife-edge.
Chaco For Ever created the more threatening chances, recording five shots off target compared to All Boys' three, but failed to find the net. The hosts kept possession at exactly fifty percent and edged the attack count 98 to 88, yet the statistics tell you little about a match decided by discipline rather than tempo. And here's the thing—three yellow cards for the visitors, against none for the hosts, suggests Chaco For Ever were the side trying harder to impose themselves.
The disciplinary record added up as the game wore on, with L. Pruzzo receiving a caution in the fifty-sixth minute and J. Carrizo following in the seventy-eighth. S. Valenzuela was the latest to be booked, his card coming in the third minute of stoppage time. All Boys made seven substitutions overall, while Chaco For Ever brought on eight players across the same period.
The result leaves All Boys fifteenth in the table with twenty-seven points from twenty-seven games, while Chaco For Ever sit twelfth on twenty-nine. The hosts have won five, drawn thirteen and lost nine this season, a record that keeps them firmly in the lower half. Their visitors have managed seven victories alongside eight draws and twelve defeats.
All Boys arrived at this fixture with mixed recent form, having lost 1-0 to Ferro-Carril Oeste on Wednesday before picking up a 1-0 win over Nueva Chicago on Sunday. Chaco For Ever came into the match following a 3-0 victory against San Miguel, but had suffered a 1-0 defeat to Gimnasia Jujuy two days earlier. Neither side could convert their momentum into goals on this occasion.
