Canuelas edged past Leoneres-де-Росарио 1-0 in the Regular Season of the Primera C on 22 August 2026, with only a single goal separating two evenly-matched sides. The result keeps both teams in the upper half of the table, though the gap between them narrows slightly.
V. Lazarte broke the deadlock in the 81st minute, a moment that arrived after what felt like a long evening of missed chances and cautious defending. Neither side managed to find a rhythm throughout most of the contest, and by then the tension had built without either team truly getting going.
Canuelas finished with 45 points from 26 games — 12 wins, 9 draws, and 5 defeats — while Leoneres-де-Росарио sit third with 40 points from the same number of matches. That five-point difference now feels tighter, though neither side has done much to shake their position.
The statistics tell a story of parity: both teams recorded 86 attacks and 4 corners, with possession split almost evenly at 51 per cent to 49. Canuelas managed 4 shots on target alongside 4 off target, while their opponents fired 6 shots wide and 4 on target. Three yellow cards were shown in total — one for the hosts, two for the visitors.
Canuelas enter this fixture with mixed recent form, having lost their last two outings against Эстрелья-дель-Сур and Атлетико Атлас after earlier wins. Leoneres-де-Росарио were more consistent, picking up a clean sheet against Дефенсорес де Камбасерес and drawing with Сентро Эспаньол, though they also suffered defeats.
Final standings impact: Canuelas remain second with 45 points, Leoneres-де-Росарио third with 40. The result does not alter the hierarchy but closes the gap between two sides that have been separated by just five points all season.
