The trophy that everyone in the elite of Argentine football is looking for
There is less and less left until the end of the season and the Argentine soccer clubs are forced to look at what happens with the Annual Table, which will decide the only relegation that remains to be defined and the classification to the Cups. This Monday, San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors closed matchday 12 of the League Cup with a dramatic tie that does not help either of them in the quest to secure a place in the next Copa Libertadores.
At the moment, both are outside that place and in the Copa Sudamericana area. In Zone A of the League Cup, River Plate comfortably leads with 23 points, followed by Independiente (22), Huracán (20) and Banfield (19); In Zone B, Godoy Cruz is the leader with 21 and is followed by Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero (19), Belgrano (18) and Racing (18).
• THIS IS THE QUARTER DUELS OF THE LEAGUE CUP
River Plate (1A) vs. Racing (4B)
Central Córdoba (2B) vs. Hurricane (3A)
Godoy Cruz (1B) vs. Banfield (4A)
Independent (2A) vs. Belgrano (3B)
It should be remembered that there are only two days left until the end of the regular stage, so the margin in the Annual Table is already minimal. Not counting Millonario (84) who qualified for the Copa Libertadores for being champion of the Professional League, he is followed by Talleres (64), Godoy Cruz (62) and Rosario Central (59). In addition, there are other methods to access this competition: being champion of the Argentine Cup, whose semifinals will animate Boca Juniors vs. Students and San Lorenzo vs. Defense and Justice, or win the League Cup.
In the Copa Sudamericana zone, Defensa y Justicia (58), Estudiantes (58), San Lorenzo (58), Boca Juniors (56), Lanús (56) and Racing (54) appear. Just outside the classification are Belgrano (54), Argentinos (52), Atlético Tucumán (51), Newell’s (50) and Independiente (50). It is important to clarify that in the case of equal points, in the case of qualification for international tournaments what defines is the goal difference and, in the second instance, the goals scored.
Regarding permanence, Colón (42 points) today would be accompanying Arsenal de Sarandí to play in the Primera Nacional next season. However, very close are several teams, Unión (43), Sarmiento de Junín (45), Vélez (45), Gimnasia (45), Huracán (45), Tigre (46), Barracas Central (47) and Central Córdoba (48). Independent (50), Instituto (50) and Banfield (49) ensured their permanence.
