Clausura Run-In Tightens: Relegation Fight Heats Up as Talleres Win and Derby Looms

With two rounds left, playoff berths, continental places plus two relegations hinge on razor‑thin margins in the annual table and promedio.

Overview

  • Talleres beat Vélez 1-0 with a Mateo Cáceres goal, climbing out of the annual-table drop and into the top eight for now, according to the latest standings snapshot.
  • Aldosivi’s 3-1 win over Independiente Rivadavia intensified the survival battle, edging past San Martín SJ and drawing level with Godoy Cruz before today’s high-stakes Cuyo derby that could leave the loser in the annual-table cellar.
  • Independiente thrashed Atlético Tucumán 3-0 to revive playoff hopes, with two Tucumán red cards compounding the visitors’ second-half collapse.
  • Central Córdoba, joint leaders on 21 points, host Racing on Monday as Omar De Felippe finalizes his XI and midfielder Iván Gómez returns to full training; Racing sit on 18 points outside the top eight on goal difference.
  • Beyond the pitch, Mauricio Macri said he could not reach agreement with President Javier Milei and criticized Manuel Adorni’s appointment to replace Guillermo Francos as chief of cabinet.
