Round 22 closed the women's Primera C regular phase with a succession of routs, a celebrated qualification in Pilar and one decision that cannot yet be called complete. Quilmes already wait in the final for the first promotion, but their Zone B opponent will be formally known only when Barracas Central and El Frontón play the remaining 40 minutes of their direct meeting.
Real Pilar produced one of the weekend's central results. The Monarcas beat Nueva Chicago 7-0 and secured sixth place in Zone A on 27 points with a plus-19 goal difference. Victoria Morán scored four, while Merlina González, Delfina Ugarte and Priscila Díaz completed a victory that turned final-round pressure into a playoff place.
Qualification carried additional value because Real Pilar arrived after defeat by Chacarita and remained in a close race with Atlas and Deportivo Riestra. Instead of depending on calculations elsewhere, they completed their own obligation with early efficiency and attacking volume. Quilmes finished first in the zone and will play for direct promotion; every other qualifier must take the longer route.
Zone B also produced large scorelines. Barracas Central defeated Atlanta 8-0 to reach 61 points, while El Frontón beat Arsenal 6-0 and moved to 58. Almagro won 4-0 against Deportivo Armenio, Flandria defeated Argentino de Quilmes 6-0 and Deportivo Merlo beat Los Andes 5-0. The final round exposed very pronounced differences in performance.
The table cannot be completed by those results alone. Barracas and El Frontón must play 40 minutes from a match suspended with the Guapas leading 1-0 after the ambulance left to transport an injured player. El Frontón would need an extraordinary margin to reverse the points and goal difference, but until completion the situation is nearly settled rather than officially resolved.
The system creates two routes into Primera B. Quilmes face the Zone B winner for the first promotion, while the remaining qualifiers contest a playoff for the second place. Real Pilar await an opponent, and El Frontón would meet Atlas if second position is confirmed. Final ranking is not decorative: it establishes pairings, home advantage and the margin for error.
The round left more than high numbers. It showed teams capable of converting pressure into attacking production, but also a division containing gaps that require attention to sustain competitive balance. The next step is completing the outstanding game, confirming the tables and publishing the ties. The regular phase has ended on the field, although its sporting record still keeps one page open.
