The Final was played between the Apertura winners, Desamparados and clausura winners, Guillermo Brown. But as Desamparados had to play the Relegation Playoff, so Independiente Rivadavia, as best team in the overall standigs took their place.
This season was marred by two match-fixing scandal, which altered the normal course of the competition.
The first involved Central Norte and 9 de Julio (R), they had to play in the round 14 of Torneo Clausura 2007. Central Norte was already relegated to the Torneo Argentino B because of the victory of Talleres (P) and gives intentionally a penalty to 9 de Julio (R) in the last moments of the match, allowing them to qualify for the Final Stage and avoiding in the same way the qualification of Juventud Antoniana, the city rival of Central Norte. The match finished 0-1 because of the penalty, but after this, in the TV it was found that both Managers were talking in the middle of the match. The Consejo Federal decided to give the match as a defeat for both teams 0-1, replaced Juventud Antoniana for 9 de Julio (R) in the Final Stage, suspended both Managers and the Referee and deducted 6 points to both teams (Central Norte and 9 de Julio (R)) for the next season.
