The Professional Football League was hot. After the date 21, there is only one leader: Atletico Tucumán. One who hides and does not stop winning: Boca Juniors. And two that run from behind: the Racing by Gago and the Hurricane by Davove. An appointment of big winners and big losers. Clearly, those of the second group are not in these first lines. who are they? That ranking is led by Gallardo River, who after having fallen with Talleres in the Monumentale, seems to be out of action. And, basically, Gimnasia de La Plata who crashed on the last two dates and went from a possible first place to fifth position in the standings.
To be honest, we have to start by talking about Atlético Tucumán. The team that was the leader in 13 of the 21 championship dates went home to regain the advantage. And it succeeds. In a match where he started billing everything he had, he beat Estudiantes and José Fierro was a party. The big goal boy, Coronel, gave the locals the lead after a match that ended with the help of Andújar. Leandro Díaz equalized the action and in the second half Lotti entered to win the game and for the Dean will take a big win … and the top alone with 41 units.
Another one that celebrated on Sunday was Racing, which received Unión. Unlike the first half of the year, where Gago’s team played well and lost key games, now he plays them badly but wins them. Once again, those of Avellaneda had nothing left. They had several in the first half and didn’t make a turnover. repeated figurine. But in the second it was all suffering. He started losing to a goal from Mirabel (with the help of Insúa) and, when ready for the slap, the DT made four key changes for the comeback. Rojas returns and scores a cross to be wedged: header and goal from Copetti. And then Carbonero appeared who woke up and began to leave the first good feelings in the Academy. It was 2-1 and another leap in the standings to third place.
Gymnastics seems to have been the big loser of the date. El Tripero had the opportunity to reach Boca. Pipo Gorosito’s men received Tigre in the forest, but the Matador is a tough nut to crack and took a nice win from La Plata. It was 1- with a goal from Armoa and Lobo lost his second consecutive match and was in fifth position.
The victories of Boca and Hurricane
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.
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.
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.
