Independiente Rivadavia confirmed their great start in the Torneo Apertura by defeating Sarmiento 2-1 at the Bautista Gargantini, for the third round of Zone B. With the return of Sebastián Villa, the Lepra won again and remains the only team with a perfect score.

The team from Mendoza opened the scoring after a cross from Villa that Fabrizio Sartori capitalized on for the 1-0. In the second half, Alejo Osella extended the lead and seemed to set up a comfortable victory, but Junior Marabel scored for the Verde, adding suspense to the end.
