The La Plata derby between Gimnasia La Plata and Estudiantes La Plata ended in a goalless 0-0 draw in the Argentine Division 1 on February 16, 2026. This stalemate at the Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo was a tense, tactical affair typical of one of Argentine football's fiercest rivalries. Both teams created half-chances but struggled to break down well-organized defenses, with the midfield battle dominating the match. The clearest opportunities fell to Estudiantes in the second half, but Gimnasia's goalkeeper made a crucial save to preserve the clean sheet. The shared points did little to dramatically alter either side's position in the early season league table, but the result maintains the intense and even historical head-to-head record between these two iconic clubs.
