Primera Nacional Zone B: Matchday 18 review

Sportivo Bahía Blanca joined the promotion battle with a stunning 3-0 win over Sportivo Brandsen, moving level with Defensores de Ensenada and Sportivo Necochea at the top of Primera Nacional Zone B, the second tier. The Bahía Blanca side are in irresistible form and laid down a marker in the promotion race with this victory.

The weekend produced several results worth mentioning: Punta Alta were unstoppable as they put four past Defensores de Olavarría, although the Olavarría side are still breathing down the leaders' necks on 30 points. Sportivo Roque Pérez also won 2-1 against Defensores de Pehuajó to strengthen their position in mid-table, while Defensores de Las Flores came from behind away from home to beat Defensores de Ensenada 3-1, giving the leaders' hopes a bit of a shake.

In between, there were several draws that probably pleased nobody: Atlético Campana drew 0-0 with Sportivo City Bell, Atlético La Plata FC did likewise against Club Berisso, Club Chascomús drew with Atlético Magdalena and Sportivo Necochea shared the points with Defensores de Dolores. The next matchday promises plenty of movement at the top, so keep an eye on who closes the gap and who falls away in the battle to reach the leading positions.
