Only one date remains to meet the new champion of the Argentine Soccer Super League. The only ones with the possibility of lifting the trophy are River and Boca, which will define the title hand-in-hand for the tenth time in history since 1913, when both first shared the First Division.
Last Friday, the Xeneize thrashed 4-0 to Columbus, in the Cemetery of the Elephants, temporarily climbed to the top of the standings and was waiting for the duel between the Millionaire and Defense and Justice, in the Monumental . Although he was close to tripping, the team led by Marcelo Gallardo drew 1-1 and rescued the necessary point to be again as the only pointer.
Everything will be defined next Saturday from 21. River will visit the Monumental José Fierro to face Atlético Tucumán, while Boca will receive in his stadium the Gymnastics and Fencing La Plata of Diego Maradona. What are the possible scenarios?
The whole of Núñez depends on itself. That is to say that with a victory the Olympic return will be assured, no matter what happens in the Bombonera.
In case of a tie, if the Millionaire wants to celebrate, he must wait for the Wolf to achieve a victory or an equality against the team of Miguel Ángel Russo, because if the institution chaired by Jorge Amor Ameal wins the Tripero , he will be the new Argentine football champion .
If River loses, the only way to go around in Tucumán is that its classic rival also fails to score any points. If the Xeneize gets a victory, they will keep the trophy, while if they tie both clubs they will share the tip. In that case, there will be a final on a neutral field to break .
A fact to keep in mind: always the one who arrived with advantage to the last date was champion. Can Boca become the exception to the rule?
