Quilmes, however, beat Excusrionistas 1-0 with a goal by Propato at 65'. The disciplinary commision ordered an investigation after Excursionistas players were disciplined by the club. Excursionistas fielded the reserve for the next 3 games as Newell's went on to win the tournament as Quilmes surprisingly lost the lead by only gathering 2 points in the last 3 games while Newell's won all, including a 3-0 routing to Quilmes. In December AFA declared Newell's the champion in spite of protests following the incident which meanwhile had become public. Finally, on February 28, 1962, the disciplinary commision issued the report condemning the actions of Newell's officials and recommending a 10 point reduction, and also severe punishment to Excursionistas officials and players. On the same day, AFA approved it and declared Quilmes the champion. Newell's protested, but joined the Primera B championship anyway. However, they decided to resort to ordinary justice, which goes against AFA statutes. After numerous negotiations, Newell's, which failed to come anywhere near promotion in 1962 and 1963 achieved a reversal of the disciplinary decision, after agreeing to desist on the suit. Finally, on April 10, 1964, AFA accepted its promotion to the first league.
