The End of the Professional League Cup: Intense Race for Survival

2023-10-31 02:20:00

The end of the Professional League Cup is approaching and ten teams (separated by six points) can’t stop doing the math. Those are: Tigre (40), Colón (42), Hurricane (42), Union (42), Sarmiento (42), Gym (44), Córdoba Central (44), Velez (44), Central Tents (46) y Banfield (46). Above all, following the statements of the president of the AFA, Claudio Chiqui Tapia: “The relegations are not going to be changed.” This means that one of the members of this ten, to which two more teams might mathematically be added (Independiente and Unión -47-), will lose the category and will join the relegated Arsenal to play next season in the First National .

This weekend, things happened. Colón, who seemed like the candidate to lose the category, debuted Israel Damonte as coach and, as the old saying goes, a coach who makes his debut wins. Sabalero beat Atlético Tucumán 1-0, got out of relegation and -barely- breathed.

Gimnasia de La Plata, which had just had a couple of hits (two victories in a row, once morest Argentinos and Barracas), was going for another success. He beat River and, practically, signed another year in First Division. But, in four minutes, Millo turned it around and returned Lobo to the fight on the table below.

Also on Sunday, Independiente might not beat Arsenal and, although they are calm, they need to add the next date and do the math. It all depends on those below. He is 7 ahead of the last one, Tigre, so With two points Tevez’s Rojo would be saved.

On Monday, Banfield added one more at a time and reached 46. Is it a good result? It all depends on what happens on Tuesday with Tigre, who faces Godoy Cruz.

Sarmiento also debuted coach: Facundo Sava took charge of Verde but might not beat San Lorenzo de Insua. And the Junín team was complicated: it has 42 and a victory for Matador leaves it in relegation.

Huracán still hasn’t taken off and tied with Barracas on their court. El Globo was left with 42, two from the abyss, and Guapo reached 47, equaling Independiente’s line. To top, Diego Martínez’s team next time visits River, which has 20 consecutive wins at the Monumental. Paradox of fate, “the Gigolo” lights candles so that his former team does not win.

Platense also tied with Newell’s and reached 50. If Tigre does not win “the Phantom of the Descent” he will have saved the category.

This Tuesday, Tigre receives Godoy Cruz. Pusineri’s men are going to risk everything to get out of the bottom. One point leaves them in direct relegation, but a victory might cause a real shock to the (three or) four teams that may remain at the bottom.

In addition, Unión (42), plays with Central Córdoba (44), two others whose defeat leaves them in a compromised situation.
