Central Norte Salta's Away Struggles Continue with Narrow Loss to Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy
In an unfolding narrative that has become all too familiar for fans of CA Central Norte Salta, the team suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy on the last day of August 2025. This result marks another chapter in their challenging Primera Nacional season, where away performances have consistently paled in comparison to their home form.
Central Norte entered the match on the back of a morale-boosting victory against Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza just a week prior. However, the inability to translate that home success into away games remains a pressing concern. The statistics paint a vivid picture: while the team boasts a formidable home record, winning an impressive 77% of matches in which they lead 1-0, the story on the road has been starkly different.
The tactical setup deployed by Central Norte, often a 4-4-2 formation, has brought mixed results. Key players such as Diego Magno and Emmanuel Giménez have been central to the team's strategy, yet the away fixtures have exposed a vulnerability in maintaining consistency. Despite a squad that has remained stable with no new transfers or injuries, the team's record now stands at 11 wins, 9 draws, and 9 losses as they navigate the early days of September.
With the season still offering opportunities to climb the league standings, Central Norte's coaching staff will undoubtedly be scrutinizing these away performances. Improving their form on the road could be the difference-maker in their quest to capitalize on the solid foundation built at home. The coming weeks will be crucial as they strive to convert potential into points and solidify their standing in the league.
