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.
With this result, Unión will finally face Independente Rivadavia in Mendoza, while San Lorenzo will have a classic against
