In the upcoming match, Deportivo Madryn will face Gimnasia de Jujuy. Deportivo Madryn leads the series 3-0 after the ruling by the AFA.

The first goal of the night came in the 31st minute. A long pass found Ferreira, who struck a low shot at the far post. The ball deflected off defender Gabriel Díaz, changed direction, and left Abadía stranded, making it 1-0. In the 35th minute, a cross from the right reached the far post and was met by forward Fabricio Rojas, who was unmarked but failed to finish with precision. In the second half, in the 12th minute, Gimnasia y Tiro's midfielder Federico Bravo was sent off after intense protests to referee Daniel Zamora over a previous unsanctioned foul. In the 18th minute, Gimnasia y Tiro came close with a header from the penalty area by winger Lautaro Gordillo, which went high towards the top-left corner, but goalkeeper Brian Olivera reacted in time to push it away. The second goal of the night came in the 22nd minute, when a low cross from attacker Mauro Valiente was pushed into the net by Lucas González to make it 2-0. Thus, the Córdoba-based team advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament and continues to dream of their first-ever promotion to the Primera División.
