Ingenieros began their Regular Season campaign in the Nacional B with a convincing 4-1 win against Chaco on Sunday evening. The match, played on 2026-08-24, saw the home side take control from the opening exchanges and never look back. The result marks the start of a new season for both clubs, who arrive with fresh hopes despite recent struggles.
By then, the visitors had little to show for their efforts. Chaco's record in their previous five fixtures tells a concerning story—defeats to San Juan and Olympique, draws with Ingenio and Olympique, and a narrow win against Primero Mayo. To be fair, such a heavy defeat on the opening day will weigh heavily on the dressing room.
The statistics paint a picture of one-sided control. Ingenieros registered six corners to Chaco's solitary attempt, and the home side collected two yellow cards while the visitors received just one. The attack figures showing zero for both sides suggest incomplete data, but the corner differential speaks volumes about who held possession.
And here's the thing about these opening rounds—teams often feel the pressure of a new season differently. Ingenieros, sitting second in the preliminary standings with zero points to their name, showed they fancy their chances at home. Chaco, meanwhile, were already third before this match and now face questions about their preparation.
The final scoreline of 4-1 reflects more than just the result—it signals a statement of intent from the hosts. For Chaco, this is a setback they will need to address quickly if they want to climb the table. The season is young, but the message from this evening was clear enough.
