The date 21 of the Professional League It started this Friday, with two games in which there were two teams with specific aspirations to fight for the championship: Mouth Y Hurricane. They both won and waited for their competitors’ results.
Boca won 1-0 in Mendoza, in a Godoy Cruz (32) also engaged in the fight but now seems to be more relegated and will have to settle for a double prize for this beautiful tournament they are carrying out, with the possibility of qualifying for the South American and not suffer with the relegation average.
Xeneize scored 39 points, one above Atletico Tucumán (38), who plays this Sunday against Estudiantes de La Plata as a local. The dean has two consecutive draws to José Fierro and will look for the three points to regain the leadership.
El Globo did the same with Banfield, in a vibrant match that was decided by the hour for the local team 3-1 thanks to a goal from behind the half of the Uruguayan Matías Cóccaro. Patrick Park’s team it stopped at 37 pointstwo from Boca and waiting for the next date on which he will visit the San Lorenzo, in a new edition of a classic that promises unprecedented emotions.
Behind this podium that provisionally make up Boca, Atlético Tucumán and Huracán appear Gym (36) and Racing (34), which also play this Sunday afternoon.
El Tripero has a chance to catch up with Boca when he receives Tigre, a Matador who becomes a tough nut to crack when playing against “the ones from above”: he drew against Atlético Tucumán, Huracán, Racing and River, and only lost against Negro Ibarra’s team.
At 6 pm it will be the turn of the Academy, which wants to add its third consecutive victory against the Unión de Santa Fe, which, on the contrary, has two defeats in a row. A curiosity: Racing’s two victories were 1-0 against Patronato and Platense, while Tatengue’s two defeats were also 0-1 against Platense and Independiente.
Something more demoted in the standings was River (32), who knew he had to win and ended up losing to Talleres by the hour, practically saying goodbye to the chance of winning the championship. He is 7 behind Boca and can be 9 behind Atlético Tucumán when 18 points remain to be played in the last six dates.
Argentine Juniors (30) on Monday he visits Colón and could be 6 behind Boca if he wins in Santa Fe. And if it talks about mathematical possibilities, it could also be mentioned Platense (29), who on Sunday will play in Rosario against Central de Tevez. The reality is that these teams add up already thinking more about international cups than about the possibility of fighting a tournament that is becoming more and more exciting.
