For the first time since the new Repechaje format was introduced back in the Apertura 2020 season (top 4 qualify straight to QF, #5-12 battle for a spot in a direct elimination match), the top 4 clubs in the Repechaje seeding (#5-8) defeated their challengers. It took five seasons to finally see it happen. In other words, the 8 most deserving clubs based on regular season performance are through to the Quarterfinal round, where they should be.
