There are five dates left until the end of the regular phase of the
Professional League Cup,
while the ninth matchday continues to be played, and there are still many teams with a chance of qualifying for the quarterfinals of the tournament that will grant a place for the
Copa Libertadores
of next year.
After River's 2-0 home victory against Independiente Rivadavia, with a double from Colombian
Miguel Borja,
El Millonario jumped from seventh place to the top of zone A and today would be accessing the next instance along with Argentinos, Instituto and Independent, all with 17 points.
The parity is extreme.
Further down, Barracas Central (16) and Vélez (15) appear, while Talleres (12), which will close the date against Riestra (5) this Thursday at 5 p.m., could reach the Fortín line and catch the fight.
In zone B, the one who got into the top four was Unión de Santa Fe, who beat Boca on the hour mark with a header from the experienced Claudio Corvalán and reached 15 points.
Xeneize (13), meanwhile, lost a golden chance to get into the qualifying zone and failed to confirm the good game played against Belgrano last date.
Godoy Cruz (19) remains at the top, favored by the defeat of Estudiantes (18), the guard, against a Platense (10) who is still dreaming.
Tomba will play against San Lorenzo only on March 20, since that match was postponed in advance due to the possibility that the Mendoza team had of playing phase 3 of the Copa Libertadores.
Third is Lanús with 16 units, which will face Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero (5) this Thursday at 7 p.m. Then Unión appears and in fifth place is Racing, another of those that lost a chance to get close to the top.
For their part, Newells (13) and Defensa y Justicia (12), who will face Tigre and Belgrano at 9:15 p.m. respectively, have a good chance of gaining a place in the upper zone.
