The fans of Students are already making plans for the final of the Argentine Cup, following last night’s victory once morest Boca in Córdoba. Although there is no defined date or scenario, at least there are indications of when and where the defining clash might be played, which will be once morest San Lorenzo or Defensa y Justicia, who play tonight.
But in this uncertainty, the members and supporters of Pincha dream of that final and many analyzed the possibilities so they are encouraged to choose a particular date since it brings back emotional memories not so distant.
The date of the final chosen by Pincha fans
Why do many fans lean toward a particular date? It turned out that the final would be played between December 6 and 13. And December 13 is precisely a very special date in the history of the Club.
It is nothing less than the day in which Estudiantes beat Boca in the final of the 2006 Apertura Tournament, which was played at the Amalfitani stadium in Vélez. Thus, “Cholo” Simeone’s team broke a 13-year streak without winning a title, and on top of that it meant the championship in which an idol returned: Juan Sebastián Verón.
In that match, Pincha started losing 1-0 with a goal from Martín Palermo, former albirrojo. But in the second half they turned it around for Xeneize, precisely with a goal from one of the figures that Eduardo Domínguez’s team has today: the Little Prince José Sosa. That followingnoon he scored the tie with a great goal from a free kick, which left goalkeeper Aldo Bobadilla with no chance. Later Mariano Pavone poked the goalkeeper over the top and scored the final 2-1.
One of the current players and figure also played on that team: Mariano Andújar. Pablo Piatti, who has recovered from an injury, was also part of the squad. While as a curious fact it is worth clarifying that Mauro Boselli, who would later become an albirrojo idol, was sitting on the Boca substitute bench, at that time directed by Ricardo Lavolpe.
When would the 2023 Argentine Cup final be played?
As mentioned, the final of the Argentine Cup still does not have a certain date or confirmed venue, there are rumors that would be confirmed in the coming days. It is known that the idea is to play the defining match between December 6 and 13. The choice of that window is not random since on that date the Professional League Cup will have already finished being played. In this way, there would be no team committed to dual competition.
It should be remembered that the finals of the past Cups, except for the 2022 one that was played in October for the World Cup in Qatar, took place in the last month of the year. For example, in 2021 Talleres and Boca played on 12/8, in 2019 Central Córdoba and River met on 12/13, while in 2018 Rosario Central and Gimnasia faced off on 12/6.
The possible venues for the final of the Argentine Cup 2023
As for the venue of the Argentine Cup final, there seems to be a little more certainty. If past editions are taken into account, it can be seen that it might be carried out in two possible scenarios. One is the Malvinas Argentinas of Mendoza and the other is the Sole Mother of Cities of Santiago del Estero. And it is the first one that has the greatest chances. In addition, it will also depend on whether or not they qualify for the League Cup.
The last seven editions were played in these stadiums: in Mendoza (2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2022), in Córdoba (2014-15 and 2015-16) and Santiago del Estero (2019-20) .
San Lorenzo vs Defensa y Justicia: tonight, the other semifinal
Today the attention of Estudiantes fans will be on the other semifinal of the Argentine Cup, which will face San Lorenzo and Defensa y Justicia.
The match will be played at 9:10 p.m. at the Lanús Stadium, it will be televised by TyC Sports and, like last night, it will be all or nothing.
