The Unión de Santa Fe, in a great moment thanks to its qualification for the round of 16 of the Cup of South America, receives Tigre, the revelation of the last League Cup by losing the final against Boca, in one of the matches of the date of start of the Professional Football League (LPF).
The game will be played at the 15 de Abril Stadium, in the capital Santa Fe, from 1:00 pm, with Ariel Penel’s arbitration and TNT Sports television.
The Union, with Uruguayan Gustavo Munúa as coach, was in danger of qualifying for the quarter-finals but a series of defeats ruled him out. However, in the South American Cup, ‘Tatengue’ qualified for the round of 16, where they will play against Nacional from Uruguay, after a great 4-0 win against Junior from Colombia.
Tigre surprised by reaching the League Cup final after an excellent campaign in the area and eliminating River, in Monumental, and Argentinos Juniors, in Huracán. In definition, Diego Martínez’s side fell 0-3 against Boca, but that didn’t mean it was a revelation of Nacional’s newly promoted first half.
