In a football like Argentina, a streak of two or three wins can lead a team to win the title fight. Not to mention five. This is what he did Mouth and entered the top three.
Atletico Tucumán draws and leaves the lead after 10 dates, product of a crisis that has been felt in this section of the race, with 3 points out of the last 12 possible: defeat with Boca and draw with Banfield, San Lorenzo and Talleres.
The new leader is Gymnastics and Fencing of La Plata, which is a handful of games to lift a historic curse and be champion for the first time. The victory against Arsenal, at home, has definitely sparked the illusion of the fans, who watch the game and do the math.
Behind these three there are more, many more, who are not guided only by mathematics but also by the almost unprecedented fact in recent history of seeing an Argentine tournament where no one can cut themselves and make a difference from those behind. In addition, many are fighting for a chance to qualify for the next Libertadores Cupan important goal for club finances.
With the World Cup in Qatar at the door and the Copa Argentina in full swing, the last date of the tournament is set for 23 October. Yes, just over a month that promises to be exciting.
How is the title fight going?
After the defeat in Superclásico, River he lost again and cannot raise his head. Banfield beat him and took him away from the championship fight. He was seven points behind gymnastics.
The hurricane and Godoy Cruz,other teams that are in the lot of those above, could not add three. They drew against Barracas Central and Tigre respectively and failed to catch on.
What took advantage of this date, besides Gimnasia and Boca, was Racingwho beat Patronato to a minimum with a great goal by Gabriel Hauche. The Academy has reached 31 points and does not come out of the fight. What is left to everyone between now and the end of the championship?
