Resistencia secured a 2:1 victory against Guayreña in the Intermedía Regular Season, round 22, on Thursday evening. The match, played on 2026-09-04, ended with the home side taking all three points after a contest that swung between control and urgency. To be fair, the result reflected a game decided by moments rather than sustained dominance.
The home side opened the scoring in the thirteenth minute, capitalising on a period of pressure that had been building without much structure. They had dominated possession at that stage, though their attacks lacked the sharpness that would define the rest of the half. By then, the visitors were struggling to find rhythm in the middle of the park.
And here's the thing about the second goal in the forty-fourth minute — it came from a move that looked like it might have been carved open, but instead the home side finished cleanly. Guayreña's back line had been under fire for most of the first half, and the pressure told. The home side led 2:0 at the break, and the momentum was clear.
The visitors pulled one back in the seventy-eighth minute, a late reply that kept them in the match but did not change the outcome. They had improved their shape after the interval, but the window for a comeback had closed. Resistencia held firm with the lead, though they never looked entirely comfortable.
Resistencia controlled 57 per cent of possession and registered six shots on target, converting two of them. Guayreña managed 43 per cent possession and four shots on target, scoring once. The home side also edged the attack count 92 to 80, but the difference came in efficiency rather than volume.
The result keeps Resistencia seventh on 29 points from 21 games, while Guayreña remain eleventh on 24 points. Both sides had drawn or lost in their previous outings before this match, so the win extends a modest run for the home side. The gap between them in the table remains five points, and the season continues.
