Boca Juniors receives Aldosivi from Mar del Plata this Sunday at the Bombonera after the suspension of his visit to Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata due to serious acts of violence that led to the death of a fan, last Thursday at the Bosque stadium, and with the possibility of recovering the top of the Professional League, pending the confrontation between Atlético Tucumán and Racing, the other two rivals.
The match will be played at 18:00, will be refereed by Silvio Trucco and broadcast by TNT Sports.
With the same goal of regaining the lead, “Xeneize” appeared at Gimnasia pitch on Thursday after Atlético Tucumán (44) temporarily surpassed him by two points with their latest win against Platense.
But the sport was out of focus in La Plata when he played only 9 minutes of the first half and referee Hernán Mastrángelo decided to stop the ball due to the impressive noise of tear gas and rubber bullets coming from outside the stadium.
In the midst of the chaos, César “Lolo” Regueiro, 57, who was in the village with his family, suffered from heart failure due to the nervousness of the situation and the unbreathable atmosphere.
Boca is the only team that depends on itself to be champion and will join him if they win all the remaining matches: Aldosivi, Sarmiento de Junín (V), Newell’s Old Boys de Rosario (V), Independiente (L) and Gimnasia, whose suspended match will resume on Wednesday 19 October at the time and stadium to be confirmed.
In the midst of these commitments, the team of “Black” Hugo Ibarra will play one of the semi-finals of the Argentine Cup against Patronato de Paraná.
The “shark” of Mar del Plata has difficulty staying in the First Division: he must stay above Patronato, who is one point ahead, and subtract seven from Arsenal with only 12 to play.
