Morón beat you 2–1 and it came late
Deportivo Morón 2–1 All Boys at the Estadio Nuevo Francisco Urbano on Saturday, matchday 32 of Zona A (1)(3)(4). Matías Nouet got your only goal, the one that pulled it back to 2–1 (1)(3).
It was agonising for Morón too. Their own press called it a "triunfazo agónico", an agonising big win, and it took them to within three points of Ferro at the top of Zona A (7).
Translation: you were the fixture the leaders-in-waiting needed, and they got it in the closing stages.

33 points, two above the relegation zone
You are 14th of 18 in Group A on 33 points from 31 games, goal difference -9. That is two points above the drop.
Your last five: a 0–0 with Chaco For Ever, a 1–0 win at Acassuso, a 0–1 home loss to San Telmo, a 1–1 at San Miguel, a 0–0 with Colón (Santa Fe). One win in five, three draws, 12 goals against on the season's balance.
You are not sinking fast. You are not climbing either, and with two points of cushion every draw counts for something.
Who was missing: two suspended, two injured
Saturday's XI was not a choice. Maximiliano Coronel and Hernán Grana were suspended. Nicolás Carrizo and Gabriel Martínez were out injured (5).
That is a centre-back and a full-back gone from the back line before kick-off, on the road, against the team chasing Ferro. Mateo Levato and Franco Fagúndez were in the Morón side that beat you (1)(7).
Godoy Cruz at home is the one that matters
Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba, at home, Tuesday 13 October (Primera Nacional).
Then Los Andes away on Saturday 17 October.
The Godoy Cruz game is the one. Home, against a side below you in the table, with 33 points already banked and the relegation line two below. Win it and the cushion grows.
