Chaco — Ingenieros: 6:1, Nacional B

Chaco and Ingenieros met in Regular Season round 6 of the Nacional B on 27 September, with the hosts running out 6-1 winners at home. The result shifts the balance in the table, leaving Chaco in second place on 9 points while Ingenieros drop to fourth on 4 points after six games each.

Chaco's recent form has been up and down — a heavy 5-1 win followed by a 2-3 loss, then a 2-4 defeat before a 3-2 victory and that earlier 1-4 loss to Ingenieros. Injuries and fatigue often show up in results like these, though we cannot say for certain what factors were at play here.

Ingenieros have struggled more consistently. A 0-1 loss, a 2-2 draw, a 1-4 defeat, a 2-3 loss — and then that 4-1 win against Chaco before this match. The away side cannot afford another slip if they want to climb out of the bottom half.

We had called for a home win with 70% confidence, and that came through. The margin suggests Chaco found a way through early and never looked back, though without minute-by-minute data we only know the final scoreline.

The gap between the two sides is now five points, and Chaco hold the advantage of having played on home turf. The visitors will need to tighten things up if they want to avoid falling further behind in the standings.
