Here are the final standings for the Clausura Tournament: San Lorenzo knocked Riestra out of the top spot and gave Boca and River a huge boost.

Matchday 14 of the Professional Football League 's Clausura Tournament kicked off this Friday, October 31st, and, as expected in times of crucial matches, the three results caused changes in the four tables that everyone watches because they define the teams that qualify for the playoffs for the championship title, those that will play in the Copa Sudamericana and Copa Libertadores in 2026, and the two that will be relegated.
The action kicked off in Bajo Flores. There, San Lorenzo secured a resounding victory over Deportivo Riestra . It was a narrow 1-0 win thanks to a stunning goal from Alexis Cuello . The victory, besides being a welcome respite for the fans and members of a club mired in a seemingly endless institutional crisis , helps Damián Ayude's team solidify their playoff position, currently sitting fifth in Zone B with 22 points, and also climb the overall standings, where they are currently sixth with 49 points.
However, San Lorenzo's victory was also celebrated by Boca and River. Deportivo Riestra, who have already secured their place in the Clausura round of 16, missed the opportunity to overtake Boca, River, and Argentinos Juniors in the race for a Copa Libertadores berth.
For the moment, in the other two matches of the day, Unión de Santa Fe surprises Newell's Old Boys in Rosario, while Instituto and Rosario Central share points in Alta Córdoba in a result that assures Ariel Holan's team the first place in the annual table - and qualification for the International Super Cup - and that leaves La Gloria in eighth place in Zone B.
