The novel of the final matches of the Professional League Cup seems to add a new chapter.
After the thread that was lived last Monday until the last minute where, minutes before Tuesday, May 25, it
was defined that the semifinals would be played on May 31
and the final just 48 hours later, this noon things moved again.
It all started because Racing, which plays the semifinal with Boca (the other is Independiente vs Colón) felt harmed because it lost two fundamental players: its goalkeeper, Gabriel Arias, and Eugenio Mena, who are leaving for the Chilean National Team for the qualifying matches. .
But Blanco and company did not count on the fact that the Trans-Andean National Team would not lend the players, not even in the face of calls from Juan Antonio Pizzi, who was champion of America with the Red, to his colleague Martín Lasarte who has just assumed that position.
With the refusal of its Chilean peers, Racing that seemed the big winner of the changes of days and times (the semifinals had been passed from 29 to 31 and the final to June 2) attended the draw as the big loser.
But the news was not that: Boca and Independiente, raised a motion for change to delay the final, which seemed logical.
Finally, on
Monday the 31st at three in the afternoon at the San Juan del Bicentenario Stadium, Boca-Racing will be played
with the arbitration of Darío Herrera.
Colón and Independiente will play in the second shift at 7:00 p.m. and the referee will be Abal.
The final?
At the last minute, it was decided that the final be played on Friday 4 at 7 pm, which would give the players a different air to be able to recover for the defining match.
In principle, the Professional Soccer League Cup would also be defined in San Juan.
So far, what has been arranged so far, but in Argentine football everything can change.
