Quarterfinals matches.
The Professional League Cup Reserve tournament is defined as the first against the final stage, after this Friday morning a good portion of the matches of the 14th and last date of the regular stage of the competition were played.
The main new one was Boca’s defeat as a guest at Tiger, in a duel that seemed a direct head-up for a place in the first four, but ended in removal both on the outside.
Gonzalo Flores’ goal, 6 minutes into the second half, knocked the leaders of Hugo Ibarra and Mauricio Serna out of the fight for the title after becoming champions last season.
Tigre, who scored 22 points, was also eliminated by the results of Huracán (4-0 to Independiente) and Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero (2-2 to Lanús). In Matador, Matías Espíndola, nephew of Juan Román Riquelme, plays and is a regular starter.
The students qualified for that zone, number 2, and took first place thanks to the tie between Lanús (they finished second), Huracán and Central Córdoba; while through Zone 1 Defense and Justice, River, Banfield and Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata entered, in that order.
The pairing is done in the same way as in Primera: The 1st and 2nd of one group are against the 4th and 3rd of another, respectively; Where in the quarterfinals there will be two classics and one match considered ‘relevant’ due to the weight of the clubs that star them: Students-Gymnastics and Lanús-Banfield with River-Hurricane, while the other meeting will cross Defense and Justice with Central Córdoba. These are chances of a single against the field of the best kind.
