Tiebreaker Playoff

The match was played on June 26 at Chateau Carreras Stadium in Córdoba, with 30,000 supporters of Colón attending the match.[4]

Javier Sanguinetti scored the last penalty shot for Banfield while Roberto Mamani missed for Colón, allowing the Taladro to win the series and promote to the highest division of Argentine football.[5]
