Independiente Rivadavia tops annual table after win over Barracas Central

Independiente Rivadavia secured a 1-0 victory against Barracas Central in the tenth round of the Torneo Clausura, a result that places them at the top of the annual league table with 51 points. The decisive goal was scored by José Florentín in the 12th minute via a header following a cross from Luciano Gómez. This win also moves the Mendoza-based club to third place in Group B of the Clausura, trailing leaders Argentinos Juniors and Rosario Central by a single point.

The match was marked by intense winds at the Claudio Tapia stadium, which influenced play during the first half. A notable incident occurred during the second half when a collision involving player Tomás Bottari caused the team's manager, Alfredo Berti, to fall and break one of his crutches. The club has since announced a raffle for the broken crutch, which has become a symbol for supporters.

Other regional sports updates include Belgrano's 3-0 win over Tiro Federal to lead Zone 2, and various results in local basketball and women's football, such as Godoy Cruz's continued success in the Liga Mendocina Clausura.
