FT: Gimnasia (Mendoza) 1-0 Newell's

Our 7-game unbeaten streak comes to an end away in Mendoza. A game Newell's should have won with 2 goals disallowed for offside, the first one controversially. Very frustrating.

Both teams go into this with an identical record, with Newell's one place above Gimnasia in the table due to goal difference.

Should be a tightly contested game with both teams looking to maintain their place in the playoff positions.
