Overview
- Estudiantes beat Racing on penalties 5-4 after a 1-1 draw in Santiago del Estero to claim the Torneo Clausura 2025.
- AFA president Claudio Tapia led the medal presentation as Estudiantes’ players and coach offered only curt handshakes while fans chanted against him.
- Suspended club president Juan Sebastián Verón watched from the stands due to a six‑month ban, and the squad brought the trophy to his section to celebrate.
- Tapia later posted congratulations on X to the team and staff but did not mention Verón by name.
- Player suspensions from the earlier ‘pasillo’ case are set for two matches in the Apertura, and Estudiantes face Platense next week in the Trofeo de Campeones.
