This is what the League Cup standings looked like: Rojo, River and Racing, inside, Boca still not enough and San Lorenzo far away

More than half of the regular phase of the season has already been played. Professional League Cup and qualification for the round of 16 enters a critical phase. Of the big five, for now, Independent, River AND racing appear among those classified. Mouth AND Saint Lawrence They are still outside the playoff qualifying zone, but Cavani’s hat-trick has left Xeneize in a different spirit for what’s to come.

The classics event does not appear to have left any serious injuries. In fact, Independiente quickly recovered from the fall with Racing on the pitch and immediately took revenge. They beat Argentinos Juniors after starting by losing and rose to the top of their group.

The one who did not take advantage of the opportunity was River. And his coach, Martin Demichelis, it is very clear: “If we won we would be alone at the top of the group”. As if that wasn’t enough, Millo starts to win 2-0 with goals from Solari – almost from the dressing room – and Borja. But in front of him is Talleres, one of the teams that has cost Núñez the most in recent times. And so it was: Sosa scored and Portilla equalized so that Millonario remained with the desire and – not even with second place – in third place in the standings.

The second is Barracas, with an incredible championship. This time they beat Independiente Rivadavia 3-1, who continue to adapt to the category.

Fourth in the group is Argentinos, who started well against Rojo in Avellaneda but then faded.

Here’s what the positions in Zone A look like

Zone B of the League Cup

This Sunday, Estudiantes took over Godoy Cruz’s entire unbeaten record. The fact is that Oldrá’s team was undefeated and had no goals conceded. All this came to an end in Mendoza with Pincha’s victory: they won 2-1 and were one disadvantage behind Tomba.

The inhabitants of Mendoza continue to be the leaders of Zone B with 19 points. But those led by Eduardo Domínguez were one behind, with 18.

Another who stumbled in the classic appointment was Lanús, who won 1-0, but Banfield equalized in the end after an impressive central defender which ended with a goal from Milton Giménez.

This Sunday, Zielinski’s team cleared the scoreboard and crushed Defensa y Justicia on the pitch: 4-0 with a hat-trick from Marcelino Moreno. The other was by Walter Bou. Lanús was third, with 16 points.

The last place in the group is Racing, who, after winning the classic against Independiente, failed to beat Platense. It was a boring 0-0 in which, after a week of euphoria, Gustavo Costas’ men barely had a chance that Maravilla Martínez was unable to exploit.

For now the Academy is in last place with 14 points.

Boca had a surprise this Sunday. And triple. The fact is that Xeneize started to lose against Belgrano and turned the game around with a hat-trick from Cavani. Yes, the Uruguayan took off his mufa and left Diego Martínez’s team one step away from the playoffs.

Next week Boca has a great opportunity to meet Racing: if they beat them they will beat them, otherwise the Academy will move away.

They are followed by Newell’s with 13, who after losing against Racing never returned to winning ways, and Defensa y Justicia with 12. San Lorenzo draws a lot (5), loses little (2) and wins fewer. This Sunday, Ciclón de Insúa drew 2-2 with Newell’s.
