In the Torneo Clausura, Gimnasia de Mendoza secured a 3-2 victory against Gimnasia de La Plata. Agustín Módica led the Mendoza side with a hat-trick, a performance that brings his total to eight goals and places him at the top of the championship scoring list. This result maintains Gimnasia de Mendoza’s position in second place in Zona A. In Zona A, Newell’s Old Boys climbed to fourth place following a 2-1 win over Banfield at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa. Matías Cóccaro was the decisive factor in the match, scoring two goals after entering the game as a second-half substitute. Despite a late penalty goal by Banfield’s Bruno Sepúlveda, Newell’s maintained their lead. In the Primera Nacional, a 3-3 draw between Patronato and Gimnasia de Jujuy at the Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella left Patronato in the relegation zone. ~~Despite goals from~~ While Diego Armando Díaz ~~and Alejo Miró, Patronato was unable~~ scored twice for Patronato, David Gallardo netted a brace for the visitors to ~~maintain their lead,~~ ensure the draw.
