[edit] 2007 match fixing scandal

At the end of the Clausura 2007 tournament, Central Norte were found guilty of fixing a 1-1 draw with 9 de Julio de Rafaela which was all 9 de Julio needed in order to qualify for the end of season playoffs denying central Norte's rivals Juventud Antoniana a place.

After an investigation the 9 de Julio were replaced by Juventud Antoniana in the quarter finals. The evidence took the form of a video of the agreement which was broadcast on Argentine Sports channel TyC Sports.

The club will begin the 2008 Apertura tournament with a deduction of six points and their manager; Victor Riggio has been banned from football for five years.
