With 16 qualifiers, Central Córdoba and Lanús close out the Clausura regular phase

With one match left to play, the Torneo Clausura already has its 16 qualifiers for the playoffs confirmed. Attention now turns to the match between Central Córdoba and Lanús, which will finish sorting out Zona A and determine how the final bracket will take shape.

What remains to be decided in Zona A

With all the spots already assigned, the end of the regular phase has been reduced to a single focus: Lanús' result on their visit to Santiago del Estero. That match will serve to finish establishing the standings in the zone, while the rest of the teams already wait for the knockout stage.

• 16 teams will fight for the title.
• Only the final standings of Zona A remain to be known.
• The pending match is Central Córdoba vs. Lanús.

A regular-phase finish with the bracket almost set

The decisive stretch arrives with the picture practically complete and the table already headed toward the playoff matchups. In that context, the clash between the Ferroviario and the Granate is the last step before the tournament enters its decisive stage.

Lanús comes into this finish already qualified for the playoffs, so the match will not change its place among the top eight, but it could alter the position it will occupy in the zone and, by extension, the shape of the matchups.

What comes next in the Clausura

With the list of qualifiers confirmed, the tournament moves into its decisive stage. From here on, the focus is on two things:

1. The resolution of Zona A.
2. The playoff bracket, which will be fully sorted out after the last match of the regular phase.

In a championship that already has its protagonists ready for the head-to-head rounds, the finish in Santiago del Estero will be the final piece before the title matchups begin.
