Overview
- Estudiantes beat Independiente Rivadavia 3-2 after extra time in Córdoba, with Lucas Alario scoring the decisive header following a late 2-2 equalizer that forced the supplement.
- Guido Carrillo opened the scoring and a misdirected Iván Villalba own goal made it 2-0 before José Florentín and Villalba staged a stoppage-time comeback that sent the match to extra time.
- A contested non-call came in extra time when Leandro González Pírez struck José Florentín in the face inside the area; referee Yael Falcón Pérez did not award a penalty and the VAR did not intervene.
- Estudiantes’ victory gives the club its 20th official trophy, earns a place in the inaugural Recopa de Campeones, and was preserved by key saves from goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
- The result continues Estudiantes’ recent run of trophies and leaves the team to prepare for the Copa Libertadores final versus Palmeiras on 28 November while questions about officiating and AFA president Claudio Tapia’s absence from the premiation linger.
