From the sporting aspect, the League Cup authorities know that it must be quickly resolved when the match between León and Boca will continue, because other teams depend on what happens with this game to maintain their aspirations to qualify for the quarterfinals. . The chance of the game resuming in the middle of next week (Tuesday the 26th, Wednesday the 27th or Thursday the 28th) is practically ruled out because Xeneize has four players summoned to the national teams and does not want to provide a sporting advantage.

The second tentative date for the remaining 63 minutes to take place could be the weekend of April 14, when the last date of the League Cup was scheduled to be played (matchday 14).

Then, during the week, the rest of the pending matches corresponding to Zone B of the La Liga Cup would take place.

This weekend there will be no activity for the local tournament, due to the FIFA date that will have the Argentine team playing two friendlies (against El Salvador and Costa Rica in the United States, on March 22 and 26 respectively), but there will be Boca Juniors He will debut in the Argentine Cup against Central Norte de Salta. This meeting will take place on Saturday from 8:30 p.m. in Santiago del Estero.

In addition to the final three rounds of the La Liga Cup, before the quarterfinals, several teams fighting for first place will have their debuts in both the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana. For this reason, the only possible gap would be the weekend of April 14 and the week of Wednesday the 17th, which are the only days when there is no local or international activity. Will there be an agreement?
