Both clubs chase Agropecuario at the summit of Group A in the league, eyeing a crucial clash that could tilt the standings. The stage for this showdown is the Presidente Sarmiento stadium, a venue that will host one of the most anticipated encounters in the twenty-fifth round of the First Nacional 2023. In this setting, two league contenders, Admiral Brown and San Martín de San Juan, will clash in a match that promises drama and tension from the opening whistle.
How did they arrive here? Aurinegro arrives on the back of a home victory against Defensores Unidos, extending their winning run to ten in the competition. With Agropecuario guarding the top spot, they sit just one point ahead of the rest, keeping their lead by a narrow margin. Verdinegro, on the other hand, climbed to third after a 4–0 triumph over Deportivo Morón, a game that featured a red card for Pablo Ferreira, complicating Morón’s efforts from early on.
The most recent direct encounter between the teams ended in a 1–1 draw on March 11 at the Hilario Sánchez Rodríguez stadium. Marcos Enrique sparked excitement for the frigate, but Nicolás Franco converted a late penalty to secure balance and leave the scoreline even at the final whistle.
It is important to note that the championship format divides the competition into two groups, one consisting of 18 teams and the other with 19. Each team plays a round-trip series against every opponent. The top two clubs from the higher section contest a final to determine the first promotion, with the loser dropping into the Reduced alongside teams finishing from second to eighth. Meanwhile, the teams with the fewest points face automatic relegation, and the team second from bottom in each group must fight a repechage to avoid dropping a division. The structure adds layers of strategic importance to every result, especially in this stage of the season.
