Aldosivi remain committed to relegation and await Riestra's result
The win against Belgrano gave them some breathing room in Mar del Plata, but Aldosivi's outlook remains tight. The battle to avoid relegation came down to a head-to-head with Deportivo Riestra, and the margin is minimal.
Aldosivi got a key win in Mar del Plata, although it still wasn’t enough to get fully out of trouble. The Tiburón beat Belgrano 1-0 and avoided dropping to the Primera Nacional on this matchday, but they remain compromised in the tabla anual.
A win that still wasn’t enough to breathe easy
The situation for the Mar del Plata side was defined by one concrete fact: if Deportivo Riestra beats Instituto, Aldosivi will be relegated three rounds before the end. In other words, the win gave them one more lifeline, but the outcome still depends on what happens with a direct rival.
In that scenario, the fight for survival was reduced to a head-to-head duel between Aldosivi and the Malevo, according to the picture left by this matchday.
What the matchday left in the relegation battle
The round also brought another major shift at the bottom of the table: Estudiantes de Río Cuarto has already dropped to the Primera Nacional by averages. With that, the fight to avoid the other relegation was concentrated between the two teams still at risk.
- Aldosivi won and avoided relegation on this matchday.
- Riestra are under pressure to pick up points.
- If the Malevo beat Instituto, the outcome will come immediately for the Tiburón.
The story, then, is not over in Mar del Plata. Aldosivi did its part, but complete relief still depends on someone else’s result, one that could change everything before the end of the championship.
