Overview

In early July, Independiente's youth squads recorded 1‑1 draws across all six age groups in Round 17 of the Argentine Juveniles LPF, while Lanús' lower‑division teams amassed 10 points in the same round.

Later in the month, Independiente's senior side played the first leg of the 2026 Liga Profesional elimination round against Estudiantes de La Plata, a match that ended in a goalless stalemate.

On 26 July 2026, the opening match of the Torneo Clausura 2026 at the Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium saw Independiente defeat the defending champions Estudiantes 2‑0. Gabriel Ávalos scored the first goal from a set‑piece, and a second strike followed shortly after. Estudiantes missed a penalty when a foul on Aguirre led to a saved attempt by Rodrigo Rey. Gustavo Quinteros coached Independiente, while Alexander Medina was in charge of Estudiantes, with veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera between the posts for the hosts.
