Boca won in Bombonera, again with forcefulness, over Godoy Cruz. For a little while he reached the River line, which did not feel the pressure and achieved a solid victory over Students in La Plata to remain unique. The three points remain the distance between the two aspirants to the Super League crown. But now there are two dates. And this Saturday, with a combination of results, Marcelo Gallardo can be pleased to win his first league title.
Mathematics does not fail. River will keep the Olympic lap if it adds four points out of six, without depending on anything or anyone. And winning three ensures a tiebreaker if Boca takes out the six points that remain ahead.
The Millionaire can even turn on Saturday against Defense and Justice in the Monumental. That will happen if on Friday night Boca does not beat Columbus in Santa Fe and then River defeats Hernán Crespo's team; or if those of Russo lose and the boys of the Doll add up some point.
If Boca wins in Santa Fe, the pressure will be transferred to River and the definition will be stretched until the last date. It will happen just after the debut of both in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. The Xeneize must travel Venezuela to play against Caracas FC and the Millionaire will have to go to the height of Quito to measure against the University Sports League.
What River lacks (45 PTS)
Date 22: River - Defense and Justice. Saturday 29 at 19:40.
Date 23: Atlético Tucumán - River (day and time to be confirmed).
What Boca is missing (42 PTS)
Date 22: Colon - Boca. Friday 28 at 9:10 p.m.
Date 23: Boca - Gymnastics (day and time to be confirmed).
The calculator
- If River scores 4 or 6 points, it will be champion.
- If River draws 3 (one win and one loss), there will be a tie-breaker in case Boca adds two wins.
- If River draws 2 (two draws), there would be no possible tiebreaker and Boca is champion with 6. If not, the Millionaire will lift the trophy.
- If River rolls 1, Boca equals it with 4 (one win and one draw) and there would be a final. If Russo's win the 6, then Xeneize would be the champion.
- If River does not add points (two losses), Boca forces a tiebreaker with 3 or is champion with 4 or 6.
