That is, Brown reached the defining match in his only two post-pandemic appearances. While CASI got back into the playoffs after 12 years, and the last time they claimed champion was in 2005 when they defeated their classic rival.
It should be noted that of the last 10 playoffs played, Newman and SIC are the ones that achieved classification the most times, with seven. While Belgrano was present in six. In addition, it is important to highlight that La Zanja and Cardenal have made five consecutive semifinal appearances.
