Estudiantes Beats Gimnasia to Reach Clausura Final Against Racing

The title carries the Argentina 2 Libertadores berth with a Trofeo de Campeones date a week later.

Overview

  • Estudiantes won the La Plata clásico 1-0 at the Bosque on a 61' strike by Tiago Palacios after a left‑side burst and low cross from Edwin Cetré.
  • The single-match final is set for Saturday, December 13 at 21:00 at Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero, with TV on ESPN Premium and TNT Sports Premium.
  • Racing booked its place by eliminating Boca Juniors 1-0 at La Bombonera with a header from Adrián “Maravilla” Martínez.
  • The champion claims the Clausura title, qualifies for the 2026 Copa Libertadores as Argentina 2, and faces Platense in the Trofeo de Campeones on December 20 in San Nicolás.
  • If Racing lifts the trophy, it would free a Copa Sudamericana 2026 berth via the annual table, whereas an Estudiantes triumph would not reallocate an extra spot.
