The League Cup is over and in Argentine soccer, that of the world champions, the definition to enter the quarterfinals will be between Monday and Tuesday… Talleres is the only one that retains possibilities to classify; Belgrano woke up late and Institute remains immersed in a streak nightmarish, and it was also left out.
The tie with the modest Independiente Rivadavia was expensive for the T, by putting rotation in the team, beyond showing the claws by the Panther Bou. The Pirate ratified an incredible but real paternity over Unión de Santa Fe, and Diego Dabove He cannot raise his head with the Glory, which he lost without deserving it, as in four of the five consecutive falls, now with an unusual Barracas pointer.
WORKSHOPS, TO DEVIL WITH THE CALCULATIONS
At this point in the League Cup, un Workshops that was put together to be the protagonist and fight it, it should have already been almost classified. Drawing with Lepra Mendocina left the pass on hold. He touched the sky with his hands by beating a giant like San Pablo in Libertadores, but now he is in purgatory and on Monday he will have to go with all his soul against Independiente.
It’s a final. Or you could say a round of 16, to advance to the quarterfinals. If Talleres wins, they qualify and if they lose, it would be a sin… The draw can also help, but they have to give Independiente Rivadavia a chance so that they don’t lose against Vélez.
Meanwhile Walter Ribonetto struggles with the dilemma: put everything in this Wednesday in Guayaquil against Barcelona for Libertadores and maintain the leador reserve the full arsenal to go first to the “final” with Independiente.
BELGRANO, WITH UNITY IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY
For those who They pinch themselves if this recovery of Belgrano is real, you have to tell them yes. What with Juan Cruz Real as coach won two in a row as a visitor. More than Guillermo Farré throughout the campaign since returning to First Division. And he remains undefeated, due to the more than worthy draw against the powerful Inter Porto Alegre.
As well as Lucas Passerini appeared to hide the absence of Pablo Vegetti, now Franco Jara He showed himself in his scoring dimension, to replace the “Goalkeeper”, out until the end of the year due to the cruciate ligaments in his right knee.
And the Pirate won, and it is encouraged to look beyond Ecuador in the Cup, because He will no longer be the “of the end” in the standings in the local tournament, and aspires to qualify for Sudamericana. Ignacio Chicco got bigger in goal, and in case of mosquitoes, Real will keep him as a starter, until Nahuel Losada is fully recovered after dengue.
WOLF LOOSE, INSTITUTE BOUND
Institute, hit by elimination in the Argentine Cup Barracas charged against a rival in a state of grace, who had the idea of fighting for the championship. In fact, he reached the top… Always with help, by the way, Claudio Tapia’s team.
Instituto attacked him and created situations for him, Barracas scored the goals and suddenly they were 3-0 up. La Gloria recovered and was close to a tie, but the referee Lobo Medina is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, from Chiqui’s flock Wall. See if he’s going to take a penalty against Guapo, at home and five minutes from the end. They could have thrown a grenade at Santi Rodríguez on that play, and nothing.
The farewell to Institute will be nothing less than against River, who everyone criticizes but remains at the top. And it will be in Alta Córdoba, where Gloria never lost against Millo. The last time in this scenario was in 1990, and Albirrojo tied it 1-1, ending a streak of five consecutive defeats…
