It was a day of joy for Mouth AND racingof concern for River and resignation a Saint Lawrence. But it is better to go by parts (and by area) to fully understand what the situation is two weekends after the end of the regulatory phase.

Saturday’s big winner was Mouth after the comeback in the classic against San Lorenzo, which already depends on too many third parties to dream of the playoffs. The 2-1, scored by goals from Edinson Cavani and Miguel Merentiel after the penalty converted by Adam Bareiro, allowed Diego Martínez and his teammates to enter the top 4 despite having 63 minutes of the match suspended against Estudiantes after the failure of the Chilean Javier Altamirano.

So things Lanus -who at the beginning of the day drew 2-2 with Unión- and Godoy Cruz They govern in Zone B with 23 units. Furthermore, Tomba has yet to play his match Platense. It will be Monday, starting at 10am, in Vicente López.

He has the same amount, but a better goal difference racingrose to fifth place thanks to the 3-1 success over Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero after Adrián Maravilla Martínez’s spectacular hat-trick.

In any case, nothing is said. Newell’sfor example, he seems full of hope, also with 18 points and with one less game that he will complete this Sunday when he faces Sarmientoat the Eva Perón stadium in Junín.

In Zone A, meanwhile, everything has changed in the last few hours. Juniors of Argentina He remained the only leader with 24 points after the heartbreaking victory in Córdoba Institute. And they follow it with 22 Cordoba laboratorieswhich fell to Velez in Córdoba with a goal from Mammana against, and Barracas Central, who scored in Arroyito and left Rosario Central unbeaten at home for a long time.

In the fourth place, on the ledge, it is located Riverwho paid a high price for the defeat against Hurricane to Tomás A. Ducó, with 21 units. Same figure for the defeated Vélez, even if they were relegated due to goal difference (+13 against 0). These two, as if that weren’t enough, can be joined by Independiente, who host Atlético Tucumán in the Libertadores de América on Sunday. A little further behind, still hopeful but unable to lose further ground, is the Instituto de Córdoba, with 17. The others are far behind.
