Chaco For Ever's defeat deepens relegation threat in Primera Nacional
Chaco For Ever lost 2‑1 at home to Ferro Carril Oeste in the 17th round of Argentina's Primera Nacional. Enzo Hoyos opened the scoring for the visitors in the 13th minute, Imanol Enríquez equalised for the hosts four minutes later, and Gustavo Canto secured the win with a late goal.
The match featured a controversial incident in which Ferro’s goalkeeper Fernando Monetti kicked Chaco For Ever’s Díaz Chávez; the referee did not issue a red card. However, Chaco For Ever’s defender David Valdez received a second yellow for a separate foul, leaving the team with ten men for the remainder of the game.
The loss leaves Chaco For Ever at the bottom of Zone A with nine points after eight games without a victory, heightening the risk of direct relegation. Their next fixture is an away match against Racing de Córdoba on Friday.
