53 goals in 36 games, scoring more than three at home against Defensores de Belgrano, Platense and Talleres, and also away at Almirante Brown and Colegiales. In the playoffs, Riestra reached the finals after a home draw against Platense and an aggregate 2–1 win against Deportivo Español. The finals featured 4th placed team Comunicaciones amidst some controversy due to a field invasion with five minutes to go, allegedly by a Riestra player, and also other regulation breaches reported by rivals and the press. AFA upheld some of the accusations while dismissed others, and decided continuation of the match in a neutral field, and several penalties for Deportivo Riestra, including a 20-point deduction the following season, later reduced to 10 points on an appeal. The match went on a few days later with a Blanquinegro victory 2–1, which were promoted to second division for the first time in their history. The Blanquinegro squad also achieved their best in the cup competition of the season, reaching the Round of 16 for the first time after defeating Tigre on penalty kicks, before being eliminated once again by Rosario Central. The team had some remarkable matches in their Primera B Nacional debut, including victories against the top three teams in the competition: Aldosivi, Almagro and San Martín. Despite their campaign, that would have had the team qualified to the Reducido, Riestra ended the season in the relegation zone due to the 10-point deduction related to previous season incidents. The club made an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports, which agreed to take the case, an unprecedented event in Argentine football. After a negative decision from the Court, Riestra was relegated back to Primera B for the next season. Riestra kept the roster mostly unchanged back in Primera B, completing a 17-match undefeated strike that made them lead the tournament. However, 4 defeats in a row took them down to the sixth position. After a change in management and the return of Jonathan Herrera back from loan, the Nueva Pompeya squad would complete another set of 11 matches without losses, including two victories against derby rivals Sacachispas. The Blanquinegros clinched a spot in the next Primera B Nacional season after finishing fourth in the league. Riestra's Gonzalo Bravo was the top goalscorer of the tournament, with 20 goals in the season. Playing kit Deportivo Riestra's kit has traditionally been black and white vertical
