In an intense match held in the city of Santa Fe, Unión and Newell's drew 1 to 1 in the framework of the fourteenth round of the Liga Profesional. Lucas Gamba scored for Unión in the 11th minute of the first half, while Franco Pardo scored an own goal for Newell's in the 15th minute, equalizing the score.

This result complicated Newell's aspirations, which needed the victory to get closer to qualifying for the next phase of the tournament, while Unión remains at the bottom of the table, far from the top positions.

With this victory, Vélez was able to distance itself from the last places in the table, while Talleres missed the opportunity to get closer to qualifying for the round of 16. It was in the second half that Vélez managed to tip the scoreboard in a counterattack, with Bouzat assisting Carrizo, who finished to give his team the victory.
