The ranking of the Professional League: how far Boca and River were from the top, after the fall of Atlético at the Bombonera

Time will tell if date number 16 was the turning point in the Professional Soccer League. It felt like an equal weekend where everyone was playing for the leader, Atletico Tucumán. He had left the tie on Saturday River with tiger and Racing in Cordoba opposite Talleres. The only one who had discounted the pointer was Godoy Cruz, with his victory against Newell in Rosario. Everything was given for Tucuman’s team to cut themselves even more. But of course he visited La Bombonera, the stronghold where the team led by Hugo Ibarra gets its best performance. And that’s how Xeneize, who started losing, turned the game around, scored a triumph and added excitement to the championship.

The Dean begins to win at the Bombonera with a goal from Augusto Lotti. And until then people were playing to ask for Pusineri’s approach. But in the second half the boy Langoni entered who changed everything. The match and the championship. Is that, with the boy’s brace, Atlético’s winning streak has been reduced and added excitement to the championship.

Los Tucumanos remained with 32 points as the absolute leaders, above Gimnasia (28), Huracán and Godoy Cruz (both with 27). Boca adds 26 and equals River’s line.

River had just beaten Central Córdoba 3-0 and it looked like they were catching on. And on Saturday night he started beating Tigre in Victoria with a great goal from Pablo Solari, the best player in Gallardo’s team. But, through the VAR, the infallible Mateo Retegui (scorer of the tournament with 11 goals) scored the same penalty.

One that should complain has to be Huracán, who visited Arsenal at their stadium on Friday and barely got a draw. Dabove’s men started behind at the Viaducto for a goal from Pitón at 51. But, just seven minutes later, they managed to equalize thanks to Cristaldo, one of the top of the league who already has 8 goals.

Thus, the Globe reached 28 points and was third, while the As added 19 and is in 17th place.

Great opportunity also for Lobo di Pipo Gorosito. He played in Junín, against Sarmiento, a game that did more than talk about himself for the statements made by the gymnastics coach against the coach of the Greens, for his game and for his identification with Estudiantes, his always rival. To make matters worse, towards the end, those in La Plata were not given a clear-cut penalty. Thus, Gimnasia stole a point from him and he was, with 30, the only escort.

Saturday was opened by San Lorenzo and Centrale. The Cyclone did not tap into the momentum of victory with Racing and Tevez’s team, which had just lost to Banfield, added one by one. San Lorenzo adds 24 points and was 8 behind Atlético. Central, on the other hand, is in 19th place and adds up that number of points.

At the same time, despite the great goal from Pablo Pérez, who is competing for Puskas, the duo’s pragmatic Godoy Cruz won again and throws himself headlong into the fight for the championship. It was 2-1 over Newell and the Mendocinos (by goal difference) are in fourth place with 28 points, 4 behind the lead.

Also on Saturday, the irregular Defense overtook the irregular Banfield and the two, far from the fight, remained at 18 points, 14 from the top.

At six in the afternoon, also on Saturday, Racing de Gago, who had sworn not to pass any points in the next matches, visited Talleres in Córdoba. At this point, the Academy is a repeated figure. They started winning with a goal from Alcaraz in the 36th of the first half, but on the 14th of the second the T’s reached a draw. Although they could not keep their promise, the Academy reduced Tucuman’s team by one point, although it was below Boca.

Another who could not take advantage of Atlético’s fall was Gabriel Milito’s Argentinos who fell against a classic rival such as Platense. He was 2-0 at Maradona and on Saturday he visits Cilindro de Avellaneda.

On Sunday, Independiente threw a party on their pitch, looking for Julio César Falcioni’s first win on his return to the club. They played with substitutes for Vélez, who has the head in the semi-final of the Copa Libertadores. The Reds start to win, with a nice goal from Soñora, but they are unable to extend the advantage and go to the locker room winning on the minimum. In the second half Cacique Medina inserts Pratto, Janson and Garayalde and changes the game. Bou takes advantage of an error by Sosa, puts a head cross to Pratto and scores the equalizer. And the fervor of the debut lived in Libertadores, ended in thunderous whistles for the local which was 17 points from the top and 12 from a possible entry into the Mercosur Cup.

The students closed the appointment with a win over Facundo Sava’s Board of Trustees which had a good run. 1- for Pincha, who after leaving the Libertadores tries to start enriching the championship.
