Central Norte Salta 0-0 Deportivo Moron | ARG Primera Nacional | 21 July 2026
In a match that promised much but delivered few clear‑cut chances, Central Norte Salta and Deportivo Moron shared the spoils in a goalless draw at the Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena. The result leaves both sides locked in the congested middle of the Primera Nacional standings.
Early Pressure and Missed Chances
Central Norte started brightly, pressing high and forcing Deportivo Moron into hurried clearances. The home side’s left‑back Juan Cruz Arce overlapped dangerously, sending in a series of teasing crosses. The best opportunity came in the 17th minute when striker Lautaro Ortiz met a pinpoint delivery, only to head straight at the visiting goalkeeper.
Deportivo Moron responded with disciplined organisation, relying on the experience of centre‑back Leandro Díaz to snuff out danger. Their midfield gradually gained a foothold, and winger Franco Acuña forced a sharp save from home keeper Esteban López with a curling effort from the edge of the box.
Stalemate in the Second Half
The second period saw fewer openings. Both managers made early substitutions, but neither could unlock the opposing defence. Central Norte introduced fresh legs up front, yet Deportivo Moron’s back four remained composed, winning every aerial duel. The visitors themselves nearly stole all three points when substitute Matías Silveira fired a shot just over the bar in stoppage time.
Impact on the Season
Central Norte remain unbeaten at home this season, a solid foundation for their promotion push. Deportivo Moron will take heart from a hard‑earned point on the road, though they continue to struggle with scoring consistency. Both teams return to training with a focus on improving their attacking flow ahead of the next round.
