Football took a backseat after the drama that was experienced in La Plata due to the decompensation of Estudiantes player Javier Altamirano in the match against Boca, which was suspended 27 minutes into the first half.

The priority is the health of the Chilean, who was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Platense Medical Institute after it was confirmed that he had suffered a seizure.

However, the ball kept rolling and there were several changes in the standings of the two zones of the Professional League Cup.

In the A, which had started with Vélez as the only leader, River climbed back to the top thanks to the 3-1 win over Gimnasia at the Monumental with Claudio Echeverri's jewel included.

That is why there are now two teams with 21 units and a two-unit advantage over Talleres - they lost ground after the draw with Banfield - and over Barracas Central, which climbed thanks to the controversial 1-0 win over Huracán.

Further back, with 18 beans, Argentinos appear - one game less - and Independiente, who also fell due to the defeat against Deportivo Riestra.

In Zone B, meanwhile, Godoy Cruz beat Tigre 1-0 and escaped even though the match against San Lorenzo has been postponed - it will be played on Wednesday at the Nuevo Gasómetro - and only a disaster could take him out of the quarter finals.

Behind, with 19 units, appears Lanús that will also close the date on Wednesday against Belgrano and will seek to leave behind the mess that meant the elimination in the Argentine Cup against El Porvenir, a Primera C team. One point behind Estudiantes, who must now complete the duel against Boca - it is not yet known when they will play -, and Newell's, which tied without goals with Platense on Friday.

In fifth place, with 17, is Defensa y Justicia and just after that is Boca, which has 63 minutes remaining with Pincha.

Further relegated are Racing (15) and San Lorenzo (12).
