A new date has begun for the Professional Soccer League, the seventh if you look at the ranking, even if it will score goals the start for many teams that said goodbye to international competition and will aim for the national tournament.
One of these is Boca, who fell at the San Lorenzo in the New Gasometer and not only added his third consecutive defeat, but also continues to fuel the internal conflict that his team is experiencing with the management. Xeneize remained with 9 points, 6 from the top of the tournament. And only 6 because what was over ended up losing two points.
There is Newell, who had to settle for a draw against Platense, when he was on his way to victory until, with 7 minutes remaining, Juan Cruz Esquivel appeared at 1-1 with an impressive volley. Leprosy defended her unbeaten record and remained with 15 points, A position that can only be reached or overcome by Gimnasia, which this Sunday afternoon makes a stop at Atlético Tucumán.

Another who won and stabilized was the Unión, who took a triumph from Banfield and shows up with 13 points, on the podium of the League. Those of Munúa have recovered from elimination in the South American and they beat Drill well, who was left with 11 points and will seek revenge in the next game when they host San Lorenzo.
And those of Boedo? Insúa’s team pulled out their old paternity over Boca and beat him 2-1 which seemed to fall short. has 10 points and has reasons to be excited to keep adding.
Among the other greats, Racing also adds 10, River has 8 and Independiente closes with 7, all with one game less. El Millo clashes tonight against Godoy Cruz, another with 10 points, and those of Avellaneda collide in a classic that is anticipated with many emotions.
Concentrated on another table, that of the middle schools, Arsenal beat Patronato in Paraná and also parked among those with 10 points.

With their heads on the Libertadores, Talleres lost at home to Barracas Central and continues to look down on everyone. The T remained with 5 points while the Guapo added three and shows up with 9.
On Friday Rosario Central scored his first points with Tévez on the bench, although he will have to keep fighting from Sunday to Sunday because he has only 7 points in the standings. The beauty is that he beat Sarmiento, who arrived with 8 points and wanted to get closer to the top positions.
Of all the names mentioned, one is missing that adds silently and has the illusion of continuing to fight well on offense: Hurricane. El Globo has 11 points and visits a Lanús in crisis, who has just fired his DT Almirón and is at the bottom of the table with 5 units.
Argentine football, with the greats still undecided to fight for the tournament, makes us dream of a balanced championship. Will this illusion last over the next few months?
