[edit] 2007 match fixing scandal
At the end of the Clausura 2007 tournament, Central Norte was found guilty of fixing a 1-1 draw with 9 de Julio de Rafaela, which was the result that 9 de Julio needed to qualify for the end of season playoffs, denying central Norte's rivals Juventud Antoniana a place.
After an investigation, 9 de Julio was replaced by Juventud Antoniana in the quarter finals. The evidence took the form of a video of the agreement which was broadcasted on Argentine Sports channel TyC Sports.
The club began the 2008 Torneo Apertura tournament with a deduction of six points and their manager, Victor Riggio, was banned from football for five years.
