Tabla Anual Race Tightens With Four Matches Remaining

Several teams sit within a few points and outstanding fixtures could decide who qualifies for the Copa Libertadores and domestic playoffs.

Overview

  • Independiente Rivadavia leads the Tabla Anual with 52 points but its position is fragile after recent results reduced its cushion.
  • Rosario Central’s 5-0 victory over Independiente Rivadavia on Sunday closed the gap by moving Central to 50 points and shifting momentum in the title fight.
  • Boca Juniors and Argentinos Juniors each have 51 points, keeping them a single point from the lead and prolonging the contest for the Campeón de Liga.
  • Vélez can move level with the leader if it wins its match in hand against Lanús and River can climb to 48 by winning a postponed game at Sarmiento, so outstanding fixtures will reshape Libertadores and playoff math.
  • Relegation is effectively settled for Estudiantes de Río Cuarto and Aldosivi appears likely to follow, and the AFA’s newly formalized Tabla Anual now adds season-long consequences for clubs’ finances, fan plans and competitive scheduling.
