Gualeguaychú secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over 22 de Julio in the Relegation Group stage of Liga Pro Serie B on Thursday evening. The match took place on 4 September 2026 at 20:30 local time. The result leaves the hosts rooted to 11th place while the visitors maintain their position in the upper half of the table.
22 de Julio continue to struggle for consistency this season. They sit in 11th place with just 15 points from 22 games — four wins, three draws and 15 losses. The away performance extends an alarming run of defeats, with the side having lost their last five matches across all competitions.
Gualeguaychú, meanwhile, occupy seventh place with 29 points from the same number of fixtures. Seven wins and eight draws have kept them clear of the relegation battle. The visitors have been particularly sharp recently, recording back-to-back 3-0 victories over El Nacional and Deportivo Cuenca Juniors before this latest away triumph.
and here's the thing — the gap between the two sides is now 14 points. That margin is significant in a relegation group where every result carries weight. 22 de Julio have nothing to lose in their remaining fixtures, but that freedom hasn't translated into points so far.
The result doesn't shift the table dramatically, but it does widen the divide between a side fighting to survive and one comfortably above the drop zone. Gualeguaychú look set to finish strong, while 22 de Julio will need to find consistency quickly if they want to avoid a difficult end to the season.
