In 1973 it was then possible to bring the Argentine championship back to the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito . After eighth place in the Torneo Metropolitano, they won the final round of the Torneo Nacional with two points ahead of River Plate and thus celebrated the Argentine championship of the Nacional 1973. But also this time the early elimination in the Copa Libertadores followed as group runner-up in preliminary round group 1 behind CA Huracán and in front of the Chilean teams from Unión Española and CSD Colo-Colo .
