Sebastián Prieto scored in the 67th minute after more than an hour without a goal. No further scoring event was recorded, making that single change enough to give Argentinos Juniors the win. The statistics need to be read separately from protecting the lead: total attempts and shots on target are not a count of guaranteed scoring opportunities.
Argentina’s competition also uses group tables, so the group name is retained with each team’s position rather than merging separate rankings into one. That preserves what the points actually mean without inventing a combined comparison that the source does not supply. The result is final; the dated group figures are a separate season snapshot.
