Overview

• Guido Mainero’s second-half long-range strike secured a 1-0 victory over Huracan on June 1 to deliver Platense’s first top-flight championship.
• The win capped a knockout run that saw Platense eliminate Racing Club, topple River Plate in a penalty shootout and edge past San Lorenzo in the semi-finals.
• Coaches Sergio Gomez and Favio Orsi masterminded the promoted side’s rise from lower-division contenders to Apertura champions and will lead them into next year’s Copa Libertadores.
• Huracan controlled early possession and created chances through Agustin Urzi and Eric Ramirez but failed to convert, with Walter Mazzantti’s injury disrupting their momentum.
• After the final whistle, Mainero dedicated his match-winning goal to his family and Orsi shared the emotion of lifting the trophy in honor of his late father.
