Newell's Old Boys 2026 Clausura – Defeat, Zone A slip

Entities: Newell's Old Boys · Club Atlético Independiente · Boca Juniors · Gustavo Quinteros · Josué Reinatti

Overview

Newell's Old Boys began the 2026 Torneo Clausura with a 1‑0 home win over Talleres de Córdoba on 25 July, thanks to a Matías Cóccaro penalty and a clean sheet from Josué Reinatti. Three days later the club announced a $30,000 ticket surcharge for the upcoming Boca Juniors match to fund stadium works and match‑day costs.

On 30 July, Independiente beat Newell's 1‑0 at the Estadio Libertadores de América – Ricardo Enrique Bochini, with Santiago Montiel scoring in the 41st minute after a cross from Maxi Gutiérrez. The win kept Independiente unbeaten and level on top of Zone A with Vélez Sarsfield, while Newell's slipped to seventh after six games. Injuries to Maxi Gutiérrez (ankle) and Sebastián Valdez (knee) were confirmed. Independiente, coached by Gustavo Quinteros, also saw the return of photographer Pablo Grillo, who had recovered from a serious head injury sustained during a 2025 protest.

Later that day, Independiente Rivadavia’s 2‑1 victory over Huracán lifted them to the top of the overall 2026 Clausura table, and Independiente Santa Fe secured a Copa Sudamericana last‑16 spot after a 5‑0 aggregate win over Caracas FC.

The aggregate comprised a 2‑0 home win in Bogotá, with goals from Nahuel Bustos and Franco Fagúndez, and a 3‑0 away victory at the Estadio Metropolitano de Lara, where Bustos scored again and an own‑goal by Ángel Figueroa completed the rout. Santa Fe confirmed a round‑of‑16 tie against River Plate (first leg 12 August in Bogotá, return 19 August in Buenos Aires). CONMEBOL awarded Santa Fe US$4.78 million in prize money, and the club launched a “Combo Continental” ticket package priced between 155 000 and 358 000 Colombian pesos, with a special reduced tier of 52 000‑118 000 pesos for the River Plate matches.
