In the following season Prado and River Plate managed to defend their title when they were first with four points ahead of CA Vélez Sársfield . After 1954 only the third place behind Boca Juniors and Independiente Avellaneda was occupied, River Plate ranked 1955 after the last game day again in first place in the Argentine first division, this time with seven points ahead of Racing Avellaneda. In the following two years, Eliseo Prado won his remaining titles with River Plate. In 1959 he left the club after 147 games and 61 goals in the Primera División and joined Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata from the city of the same name, the capital of the province of Buenos Aires . At the club, which was also in the midfield of the Primera División at the time and has not even become Argentine football champions, Prado played 89 times in four years from 1959 to 1963.

His team won the second group game against Northern Ireland 3-1, but a 1: 6 in the last group game against Czechoslovakia prevented a possible entry into the quarter-finals.
