Estudiantes
In the Argentina Cup, Estudiantes defeated Independiente and Aldosivi in the early stages. They later secured a victory against Huracan and progressed to the final thanks to a win in the semifinal match against the legendary Boca Juniors. Estudiantes has a rich history, boasting four victories in the Copa Libertadores, although this was quite some time ago.
Defensa y Justicia
The team was long considered one of the many modest underdogs, a common occurrence in any country. However, recently, the club has experienced a sharp rise. In 2019 and 2021, Defensa y Justicia became the runner-up in the league and, between these events, won the Copa Sudamericana. This team paved its way to the final through victories over less strong clubs. They defeated Chaco For Ever in the quarterfinals and then managed to beat San Lorenzo in the next stage.
