In a direct duel from the top of the Intermediate table, Ameliano took the top prize over Rubio Ñu, whom he defeated 1-0 and displaced him from the direct promotion zone.
The ñuense team came to this match with the possibility of remaining as the only guard, after Independiente’s defeat against Fernando de la Mora last Saturday, but they did not succeed and also fell from third position (last of direct promotion).
Ameliano, for his part, knew that the opportunity to score points from a direct rival was at stake and he ended up doing so in a highly contested match, which ended up being defined with a penalty goal by Álex Arce, when there were barely 11 minutes of play.
With this result, Ameliano, who had partially fallen to sixth place after the victory of San Lorenzo and the draw of Atyrá, reached 27 points, beating Rubio Ñu by 1 and ranking third in the table, also one unit for under the escort, Independent.
In the absence of a date to reach the middle of the championship, the fight for second and third place in direct promotions seems to be on fire as General Caballero leads calmly.
