Overview
- Newman beat SIC 15-3 at CASI to secure the club’s first URBA Top 12 championship, built on physical dominance and a standout defensive performance.
- Faustino Santarelli served a 20‑minute red card and Bautista Bosch scored a decisive try, with captain Lucas Marguery lifting the long‑awaited trophy.
- Godoy Cruz and San Martín de San Juan drew 0-0 in Mendoza after VAR overturned an Agustín Auzmendi goal for offside, leaving both stuck in the drop fight.
- The draw puts Godoy Cruz on 28 points in the annual table, with San Martín and Aldosivi on 27, while Talleres’ 1-0 win at Vélez moved it level on 30 with Newell’s.
- Newell’s remains at risk after losing to Unión and now needs four points from matches against Huracán and Racing to guarantee safety, as Godoy Cruz faces Atlético Tucumán and then Riestra and San Martín meets Lanús before visiting Aldosivi.
