Gimnasia won 1-0 in Liniers, played much of the second half with ten men, and advanced to the Apertura Tournament quarterfinals.

Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata pulled off one of the upsets of the round of 16. They beat Vélez 1-0 in Liniers and moved into the top eight of the tournament. The only goal of the night was scored by Marcelo Torres from the penalty spot in the first half, after a great team play.

In the second half, Enzo Martínez was sent off 10 minutes in. From that point on, Vélez controlled the ball and pushed forward, but lacked sharpness in the final third.
