El Boyés and Central Norte played out a 1-1 draw in Primera Nacional's regular season, round 24, on the evening of 10 August 2026. Both sides arrived at the match with nearly identical records, sitting third and fourth from bottom with just one point separating them. The result leaves El Boyés on 32 points in 13th place and Central Norte on 31 points in 14th.
Central Norte took the lead through M. Rosales in the 62nd minute, a moment that shifted the balance after a largely anonymous first half. El Boyés responded with an own goal from F. Borda just two minutes later, cancelling out the deficit. To be fair, the match rarely offered sustained attacking sequences, and the goals came from brief windows rather than sustained pressure.
The second half saw a flurry of changes as both managers sought to find an edge. L. Leguizamon and E. Bodencer came on for Central Norte in the 68th and 69th minutes, while El Boyés introduced F. Vedoya and C. Campostrini together in the 79th. Further replacements followed, with N. Barrientos, G. Ramirez and G. Mancuso entering the fray in the closing stages.
Shots off target came 4-5 in favour of the visitors, though neither side found the target on goal. The statistics are not particularly revealing — possession and attack figures are listed as zero for both teams, which tells us very little beyond the fact that this was not a game of sustained dominance. By then, it was clear that the match would be decided by moments rather than territory.
M. Rosales collected a yellow card for Central Norte in the 74th minute, the only named booking in the match. The result does nothing to separate the two sides in the table, and both clubs remain in the lower half with work to do. El Boyés had lost two of their last three league games before this draw, while Central Norte were coming off a 1-0 victory over Los Andes.
What matters most is not the scatter of events but the context — two mid-table sides trading blows in a match where neither could quite pull away. The table remains as it was, and both teams will be looking for a response in the next round.
