Following an initial 0-0 draw in their Copa Argentina quarter-final encounter, Platense defeated Estudiantes de La Plata 1-0 at the Norberto Tomaghello Stadium to secure a historic advancement. In the decisive match, Platense, managed by Martín Palermo, maintained possession and controlled much of the play despite high tension and defensive caution from both sides. The deadlock was broken in the 83rd minute when substitute Gonzalo Lencina scored a header following a cross from Tomás Silva, beating goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. This victory marks the first time Platense has reached the semifinals of the Copa Argentina. The semifinal bracket is now complete, featuring matchups between Platense and Atlético Tucumán, and Boca Juniors and Banfield. Atlético Tucumán secured their place by defeating Independiente Rivadavia via a penalty shootout. While initial scheduling placed the Platense vs. Atlético Tucumán semifinal on October 28 and the final on November 4, 2026, subsequent reports indicate the Boca Juniors vs. Banfield semifinal is scheduled for November 14, with the tournament final now slated for December 2, 2026. This scheduling adjustment for the later stages was made to accommodate Boca Juniors' participation in multiple competitions, including the Copa Sudamericana.
