During the Torneo Clausura, Barracas Central has faced consecutive losses in the sixth and fifth rounds of the tournament.

On August 16, Rosario Central defeated Barracas Central 1-0. The match, held at the Claudio ‘Chiqui’ Tapia stadium, was delayed for approximately 35 minutes after a fireworks display during a lighting system inauguration caused an electrical failure. Alan Rodríguez scored the winning goal in the 40th minute. To manage an upcoming Copa Libertadores fixture against Corinthians, Rosario Central coach Jorge Almirón utilized an alternative lineup featuring several young players.

Following this, on August 23, Platense secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Barracas Central at the same venue. Although Barracas Central took an early lead via an Iván Tapia penalty—which followed a “controversial VAR decision”—Platense responded with goals from Nicolás Retamar and a late strike by Luciano Giménez. This result moved Platense into seventh place in Zone A, securing a spot in the playoffs.
