The Professional League Cup promises that the match on the 14th will be a heart-stopping one. The fact is that the next day it will be decided who will be the four qualified for the playoffs and anything can happen in Zone A, which is on fire.
River never thought it would be so difficult for them to be among the top four to qualify for the quarter-finals of the last match. El Millo was supposed to beat Central but ran into a Canalla who remembered being the last champion of Argentine football. Russo’s men won the three points until Borja seemed to equalize the match against a Monumentale team that was losing patience.
As fans reckoned, these lines were written, erased, and rewritten.
The Independent was celebrating, yes. Carlitos Tevez’s El Rojo did his homework to the letter. “As long as we have mathematical possibilities, we will continue to fight,” the coach said. And the team got the message: they beat Banfield 1-0 and celebrated Talleres’ setback, but River’s comeback – for now – has left them out of the playoffs.
In any case, Rojo goes with Talleres in the last round: if they beat them, they enter the playoffs unless Vélez (with a four-goal difference compared to Avellaneda) gets a more than important victory against Independiente Rivadavia .
What to say about Barracas: Guapo beats Instituto and is practically in the quarterfinals. A tragedy would leave him out. The same as the Argentine leaders (they should lose 8-0) who, with a +11 difference, look down on them all and feel they are in the quarterfinals.
The fact: the league leaders face each other in the last round and a draw allows them to advance to the next round.
These are the positions in Zone A of the League Cup
