Key point for play-offs: Racing Córdoba drew with Bolívar before Colón

Racing de Córdoba drew 1-1 away to Ciudad de Bolívar on Matchday 26 of Zone A in the 2026 Primera Nacional. The match, officiated by referee Nicolás Mastroieni, shaped up as a true early final in the battle to reach the Reducido spots for the second promotion.

“La Academia” took the lead in the first half thanks to a finish from Alan Olinick. However, the advantage did not last long, as Elías Martínez scored the equalizer for the home side before both teams went into the break. With this result, the team tactically led by Gustavo Coleoni claimed a valuable point to end its poor run away from home, although it still remains outside the qualification zone.
