Defensa y Justicia's 2-1 defeat against Gimnasia de Mendoza ended up defining the last qualifiers in Zone A.
Despite starting at the top in the first few minutes with a goal from Ayrton Portillo, Halcón de Varela couldn't handle the difference. The Mendoza Wolf would tie shortly after with both Ezequiel Muñoz and then turn it around with a score from Luciano Cingolani in the second half, leaving the southern side with no chance
of entering the next phase. Gimnasia de Mendoza denied classification to Defensa y Justicia
With this result, Unión will finally face Independente Rivadavia in Mendoza, while San Lorenzo will have a classic against
River at Monumental.
