In a tense atmosphere at home, Newell’s faced Estudiantes, resulting in a 2-0 loss during the seventh week of the Torneo Apertura. The match was not just significant for its outcome but also because it reflected the broader issues affecting Newell’s, which is entrenched in a crisis marked by the recent sacking of their coaching duo after a six-game winless streak.

This defeat adds to the pressure on Newell's, who are now gearing up for an important local derby against their traditional rivals, Rosario Central, expected this coming weekend. The club's fans voiced their frustrations, with chants directed against AFA president Chiqui Tapia, indicating their discontent not only with the team's performance but also with the broader football governance that affects their club.

On the other hand, Estudiantes, under the new management of their recently appointed head coach, managed to secure a vital victory while adjusting to changes in their squad. They currently lead Group A, displaying a solid performance that contrasts sharply with Newell’s struggles, making the impending classic match even more critical for the Rosario club, as they seek to regain some pride amidst internal turmoil.
