After the chaos of La Plata, the Professional League He resumed his usual rhythm e Mouth He did what works best for him: win. Without shining, the Xeneize players recovered from the horrible moment they spent at the Bosque de la Plata and took advantage of an Aldosivi who didn’t stop making mistakes. Ibarra’s team did not forgive: they won 2-1 and climbed to the top of the standings with 45 points, at least until tomorrow’s match between Racing (41) and Atlético Tucumán (44). A win for Dean will leave him at the top, even if Ribera’s have to finish the remaining 80 minutes of the match with Gimnasia.
Those of Pipo also had a complicated duel. El Lobo visited Banfield de el Sola, with all the negative accusations of what happened on Thursday on his pitch where a fan died. But Mens Sana recovered and scored a clear victory with goals from young Eric Ramírez and Uruguayan Aleman.
Shortly after noon on Sunday, Tigre and Independiente faced off and fell again. Since the departure of his DT Julio César Falcioni was announced, the Rosso, who arrived with a streak of five consecutive victories, knows only how to lose. He did it against Central Córdoba on their pitch and now with El Matador. 2-1 for those led by Martínez who are in South American positions and dream of entering Libertadores. El Rojo, on the other hand, was excluded from everything and in 2023 he will not play any international cup.
River closed on Sunday against its executioner in the Copa Argentina, Patronato. Finally, Gallardo’s men took their revenge, winning 1-0 and reaching 41 points, equaling the Racing line and remaining 4 behind Boca. In addition to sealing his entry into the Libertadores, the Millionaire haunts those aforementioned.
A key Monday in the fight for the Professional League
The agenda of the League on Monday is not to be despised. The key game is played at 7pm, where Racing (41) receives Atlético Tucumán (44). And anything can happen. If the Tucumans win, they will take two points above Boca (45, one game to go). If, on the other hand, the three units are kept by the Academy, it will equal the Dean in second position and will be one point behind Xeneize, waiting for the wait with the Gymnastics. It will also establish that Ibarra’s are dependent on themselves to parade towards the championship, as they are doing: Boca played 14 games without losing.
Another key duel will be at four in the afternoon between Argentinos Juniors (36) and Huracán (40). El Bicho, who was far from fighting for the League, fights head to head with River to enter the Libertadores. El Globo, on the other hand, also has that illusion (he is three points below Bicho in the annual ranking) and does not lose hope and continues with the illusion of fighting for the League.
The other games on Monday will be: Central vs. Defense and Justice (16:00), Students vs. Lanús (19:00) and Central Córdoba vs. Newells (9.30pm).
This is the table
The matches on Saturday
Although nothing was defined in the fight for the top of the League, things also happened on Saturday. The most sensational occurred at the Nuovo Gasometro where the San Lorenzo beat Velez at the last minute. The incredible thing is that, when the VAR analyzed the possible penalty, the DT Insua warmed up Ortigoza enough to execute the maximum penalty and the Ciclón idol signed the victory with the first ball he touched.
In addition, Barracas and Sarmiento drew, Unión beat Arsenal 1-0 and Colón beat Platense 2-1 to Vicente López.
