Patronato and Kilmes shared the points in a 3:3 draw during the twenty-third round of the Primera Nacional in Argentina. The match finished with both sides level on the scoreboard, extending each team's recent struggles to find consistent form. Patronato, sitting in sixteenth place with 29 points, had dropped two of their last three games before this result. Kilmes were fourteenth on 32 points and had also lost their previous outing against Colegios.
The opening exchanges were frantic. L. Romeo turned the ball into his own net in the eleventh minute, giving Patronato an early advantage, and V. L. Pereyra responded almost immediately with an equaliser for Kilmes. A. Spetale restored the home side's lead fourteen minutes in before W. Rueda levelled again twenty-four minutes from the end of the first half. The pattern of quick responses set the tone for an open contest.
Patronato seized the initiative after the break. A. Kippes put them 3:2 ahead in the forty-eighth minute, and it looked like the hosts might close out the result. Kilmes worked the channels and found a way back into it. A. Lavezzi scored in the seventy-fifth minute to complete the comeback, and there was unrest in the dressing room as the visitors held on for a point.
The match was marked by discipline issues on both sides. Patronato collected six yellow cards, while Kilmes were booked twice. The home side's midfielders were particularly active, with F. Soldano, F. Moreyra, G. Diaz, and A. Bindella all receiving cautions. Kilmes' W. Rueda and V. L. Pereyra also joined the list, leaving the game open for the final stages.
Substitutions came at regular intervals as both managers looked to shift the momentum. Patronato brought on F. Evangelista and later J. P. Barinaga and R. Martinez, while Kilmes introduced M. Vallejos, D. Diaz, and replaced Pereyra late on. The changes reflected the fluid nature of the game rather than any decisive tactical shift.
Statistically, the match told a story of efficiency rather than dominance. Both sides held 50 percent possession, but Kilmes registered 12 shots on target compared to Patronato's five. The visitors converted fewer attempts yet still managed to find the net three times, while the hosts worked harder in attack with 95 touches versus 104 for Kilmes.
The result leaves Patronato in sixteenth place with 30 points from twenty-nine matches, a single point behind Kilmes who now sit on 33. Both teams have found it difficult to string together results, with Patronato having lost two of their last five and Kilmes showing similar inconsistency. The draw extends each side's run without a victory and keeps the pressure on for the remaining fixtures.
