Although San Miguel reacted quickly and grabbed a temporary equalizer in the 65th minute through Leandro Desábato,Morón regained the decisive lead in the 77th minute thanks to an unforgettable acrobatic finish by Joaquín Zappacosta following a corner kick, sealing a 2-1 victory that puts them firmly in the race at the top and with all eyes now on the showdown in Santa Fe.
