Independiente Rivadavia still sit top of the table, but a brutal 0-5 thrashing by Rosario Central exposed cracks just when the title race heats up.
A 10W-4D-2L record and +14 goal difference built this team's lead, but the last two outings have been shaky: a 1-1 draw with Gimnasia and now a lopsided 0-5 defeat to Rosario Central. Álex Arce remains the attacking focal point with 9 league goals, and 7 clean sheets show the defense has generally held firm - until last time out. The challenge now is steadying the ship before the gap at the top narrows.
