On Sunday, Argentina will host the second leg of the Primera Nacional playoff final, which will determine the second promotion to the Primera División of Argentine football. Deportivo Madryn will face Estudiantes de Río Cuarto. The match will take place at Estadio Abel Sastre, which has a capacity of 25,000 spectators, starting at 17:00 local time. It will be broadcast on TyC Sports. The appointed referee is Facundo Tello, with Nicolás Lamolina serving as the VAR. Deportivo Madryn, which was surrounded by controversial situations on its way to the final, suffered a heavy 2-0 defeat in the first leg, with goals by Tomás González and Juan Antonini. Therefore, playing at home, the team needs to win by at least two goals to force a penalty shootout. A victory by three or more goals will secure their promotion. On their way to the final, Deportivo Madryn finished first in Zone A with 60 points, but lost the final for the first promotion on penalties to Gimnasia de Mendoza. In the playoff, the Chubut team defeated Gimnasia de Jujuy 4-0 on aggregate. It should be clarified that they were losing 1-0 in the first leg, but the match was suspended due to alleged threats to the referee, and the AFA awarded the match to Madryn with a 3-0 score. Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, for its part, finished second in Zone B with 60 points and had very solid performances in the playoff to defeat Patronato (2-1) and Gimnasia y Tiro de Salta (2-0) in the round of 16 and quarter-finals respectively, while in the semi-finals they struggled against Estudiantes de Buenos Aires, with whom they drew 1-1 on aggregate, but benefited from the sporting advantage. This will be Estudiantes de Río Cuarto's second experience in the Primera División, a category in which it played between 1983 and 1985. Deportivo Madryn, for its part, will try to reach the top division for the first time in its history.
