The Professional League Cup has entered its definite final stage and this Saturday a large part of the number 13 date was played, the second to late regular stage, before the playoffs. On May 11, the quarterfinals will begin to play out where those who remain in the first positions of their zones will be locals. Now, those are Racing, Students, River and Boca. But what happened on this date and what could change. Newell’s, Tigers, Argentinos Juniors and Aldosivi were added to the other lot.
The date began Wednesday, early, where the kids from San Lorenzo surprised Newell’s that they could get their classification. Today, Leprosy has 23 points and remains in third place in Zone A, two points above the Argentinos (21 points, +4), Gimnasia (+2) and Sarmiento (-6).
On Friday, Estudiantes played, not losing points or saving players for the Copa Libertadores. Those from Russian Zielinski received Martín Palermo’s Aldosivi, who had to add to get a pass in the quarterfinals, but León won again: it was 2-1 with goals from Castro and Morel. Meli put on the partial tie. So, Tiburón is in fourth position and will be classified if tomorrow Huracán does not beat Rosario Central. Otherwise, that fourth spot will be determined next weekend.
Manuel Castro pointed from the right to the 1-0 Aldosivi Students.
El Lobo got into the conversation as he beat Patronato 6-0. The irony: if they qualify, they will make it to fourth place and have a La Plata classic in the quarterfinals.
On Saturday, Racing played with several substitutes against Banfield and saved a draw at the end that would allow them to be ahead if they get another point next weekend against San Lorenzo. Of course, a few hours later, River defeated Sarmiento: it was 7-0 at Junín and Gallardo’s men overtook Gago by goal difference. In other words, if Avellaneda’s team loses the Storm and the Millionaire wins, Núñez’s team will take the lead. And that will open up another scenario. which one One of the Superclásico in the semis.
It was Boca who beat Barracas Central 2-0 at La Bombonera and with 24 points they took second place in their group. He will no longer be ahead, a place that no one takes away from Estudiantes, but he also cannot be moved to that place because he took 4 of his pursuers: Tigre and Aldosivi.
