Central Córdoba suffered their third consecutive loss in Zone A after losing 1-0 to Vélez at the José Amalfitani stadium. Joaquín García's goal in the 10th minute was enough to give Vélez the win, who recovered from two consecutive losses. Central Córdoba's loss gives them a significant blow in their campaign to advance to the quarterfinals. Vélez's win allows them to return to the top of the table with 25 points, ahead of Estudiantes de La Plata and Lanús. Central Córdoba's coach, Tobías Andrada, said that his team is strong and that they have the illusion of continuing forward. However, the loss gives them a significant blow to their morale and makes them doubt their ability to advance in the competition.
