Banega’s goal was the only goal in this match. The 23-year-old’s sliding tackle has become the determining factor for Patronato in winning the Copa Argentina.
Patronato made history by winning his first Copa Argentina title. This title also led Patranota to seal tickets for the Copa Libertadores, the Champions League event for South American clubs. The Copa Argentia trophy became a consolation for Patronato who had been relegated from the highest caste in the Argentine league.
