Trailing by two and down to ten men after Diego Villar’s first half sending off, few would have expected Unión to get much from their trip to Atlético Rafaela. However, a rousing comeback gave Unión back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Goals from Gabriel Graciani and Osmar Ferreyra put La Crema firmly in charge but Claudio Riaño, Rolando Guerreño and Juan Rivas completed the remarkable turnaround.
Nueva Chicago returned to winning ways and kept at least a vague hope of staying up after a 3-1 victory against Aldosivi. An Alejandro Gagliardi brace had Chicago in control and although Gastón Díaz pulled one back from the spot, Fernando De La Fuente wrapped up all three points.
