San Lorenzo
, semi-finalist of the previous
Argentine Cup
that Estudiantes de La Plata won, will debut today in the 2024 edition against
Independiente de Chivilcoy
, one of the representatives of Federal A. The match corresponding to the 32nd round will be played at the Centenario stadium
in Quilmes
from at 9:10 p.m. with arbitration by Daniel Zamora and transmission by
TyC Sports.
The winner of the match must wait for the resolution regarding the classic that Tigre won against Chacarita (1-0) and was suspended for the attack on footballer Fernando Brandán, from "Funebrero", who received a bottle thrown by a fan.
The "Ciclón" appears in the 2024 edition of the federal tournament after the goalless draw in the classic against Huracán, as a visitor, last Saturday for the League Cup.

The team led by
Ruben Darío Insua
will play with the obligation to qualify against an inferior rival that has not officially competed since November of last year and has a practically new squad.
Independiente de Chivilcoy was the protagonist of the promotion since it reached the quarterfinals of the Federal A tournament but was eliminated by Olimpo de Bahía Blanca.
The Chivilcoy team was left without a coach after the departure of
Alberto Salvaggio
, who was replaced by his assistant,
Daniel Olmedo.
While preparing for the new Federal A, "Red" put together a practically new team with 12 reinforcements.
San Lorenzo and Independiente de Chivilcoy will face each other for the first time in history but the Buenos Aires team has already played against other First Division teams in the Argentine Cup: in 2018 they lost 2-1 to Argentinos Juniors in the 32nd round and in 2023 they fell to the champion Estudiantes of La Plata (3-0) in the same instance.
