Overview
- Independiente beat Deportivo Riestra 1-0 at Guillermo Laza on a 90+5 strike from Santiago Montiel after a throw-in flicked on by Luciano Cabral past goalkeeper Ignacio Arce.
- With the win, Independiente sit 12th in Zone B with 15 points and 44 in the annual table, meaning they must win the finale and hope a spot opens to reach the Copa Sudamericana; they next host Rosario Central.
- Riestra, now fifth in the annual standings and drifting from a Libertadores place, finish against Godoy Cruz with date and time to be confirmed.
- Independiente Rivadavia drew 0-0 with Central Córdoba at a packed Bautista Gargantini, where the clearest chance was a Fabrizio Sartori header saved by Alan Aguerre early in the second half.
- Rivadavia remain bottom of Zone A with 13 points but are already qualified for their first Copa Libertadores after winning the Copa Argentina on November 5; Central Córdoba will host Banfield next, and Rivadavia visit Defensa y Justicia.
