Sportivo Barras saw off Claypool 2:0 in Primera C's Regular Season round 23 on Sunday evening. The home side claimed all three points at their ground, moving them further clear of the relegation zone while Claypool's struggles continued.
I. Santa Cruz opened the scoring in the sixty-third minute, and that proved to be the decisive moment. Claypool pushed for an equaliser but could not find the net, and the hosts added a second goal in the forty-fourth minute of extra time. And here's the thing — the match was decided in those final phases rather than any sustained pressure.
The statistics tell a flat story. Both sides held fifty percent possession, and the shot count was barely separated — Sportivo Barras registered four attempts on target against Claypool's two. But the difference lay in efficiency. By then, the visitors had accumulated six yellow cards to the hosts' four, suggesting frustration rather than control.
Sportivo Barras sit sixth with thirty-eight points from twenty-seven games. Claypool languish in thirteenth, twenty-six points and seven behind. The gap did not shift dramatically, but the psychological weight of another defeat sits heavier on the away bench.
For Sportivo Barras, the result extends a modest run of consistency. For Claypool, it marks a fifth match without a victory and leaves them with little margin for error as the season tightens.
