Date 9 of the Professional Football League Cup is over and, with five dates left to determine who will qualify for the quarterfinals in each group, we already have some certainty. First, that the development of Racing and Estudiantes, leaders in zones A and B, is serious business. The Avellanedas won again and were fully in command with 21 units. On Sunday, the victory of Gago’s men came on time and there was an important VAR intervention that reported Andrade’s handball in the 92nd minute of the match. The man managing the change for a purpose was Edwin Cardona who returned to the team after his injury on the third date. instead Zielinski’s Pincha, which reached 18 points, was convincing: 5-0 to Central Córdoba de Rosario with a hat-trick from their repatriated scorer Mauro Boselli. How about the River and Boca? Marcelo Gallardo’s team won 2-0 and the Argentinos Juniors reached a draw. He was about to lose, but the hierarchy of his players allowed him to advance the game. The knot was removed after a penalty and the expulsion of Torren. Juanfer converted from step twelve and Herrera scored the final 4-2. River was second in Zone A and, due to Battaglia’s team’s poor draw at Vélez stadium, until Sunday had a Superclásico. But, late Monday, Aldosivi’s hit on the Lanús court (if that adjective can be used because Palermo’s staff got their fourth straight win) moved Boca to the final step of the classification. and so far they will not cross the two greatest Argentine soccer.

In any case, the groups are very equal. A good example is that Defense and Justice, one of the Professional League Cup sensation teams, shares with Unión the last step of Zone A classifieds. Both had 17 points, two behind River, but below them were Newell with 16 and, three points behind, Banfield, Argentinos and Sarmiento.

The same thing is happening in Zone B. The last classified today is Boca, as they have 13 points, the same as Tigre and Aldosivi, that they surpassed by goal difference. Below you will find Colón (with the same points but with a goal lower than Battaglia), Independiente and Huracán with 11 and even Vélez, whose campaign is weak, still has a chance with 10.
