Ferro Carril Oeste awarded win after player eligibility dispute

The governing board of the Liga Trenquelauquense de Fútbol ruled in favor of Club Ferro Carril Oeste, overturning the result of its Round 8 match against Las Guasquitas. The decision was based on the improper inclusion of player Axel Elías Correa, who violated league rules prohibiting loaned players from re‑joining their original club before the tournament ends. The board awarded Ferro a 1‑0 victory and the three points, adjusting the Apertura standings and strengthening Ferro’s position near the top of the table.

The ruling also ordered the return of the fee Ferro had paid to lodge the protest. The disciplinary action underscores the league’s enforcement of player registration regulations and its impact on the competition’s final phase.
