Gimnasia y Esgrima (Mendoza) One Win From Promotion Final, Hosts Defensores on Sunday

A victory would seal top spot in Zone B to set up a title decider versus Deportivo Madryn.

Overview

  • Gimnasia leads Zone B with 60 points and will host Defensores de Belgrano at Víctor Legrotaglie on Sunday at 15:30.
  • The club holds a two-point edge over Estudiantes de Buenos Aires and a three-point cushion over Deportivo Morón and Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, so only a win guarantees the final.
  • If they qualify, Gimnasia advances to face Deportivo Madryn for the championship and promotion to the top flight.
  • Midfielder Fermín Antonini said the team has one more step and emphasized they control their fate, after earning a starting role late in the campaign.
