This Saturday there will be five games in the League Cup
After the duel between Rosario Central and Huracán, the eighth day of the League Cup continues this Saturday with a schedule full of matches. In the first round, San Lorenzo fell 3-0 at home against Newell’s. Now, Lanús faces Defense and Justice and Estudiantes with Godoy Cruz. In the last round, from 9:30 p.m., Argentinos Juniors will clash against Independiente and Central Córdoba will play with Tigre.
SAN LORENZO 0-3 NEWELL’S:
Newell’s obtained a triumph as a visitor to San Lorenzo and recovered after losing the classic with Central: it was 3-0 with a double from Cristian Ferreira and another from Ramiro Sordo. In the Ciclón, which played one of the worst games since the arrival of Rubén Darío Insúa, Gonzalo Luján was sent off for a double yellow.
In a fairly discreet first half, Lepra took advantage thanks to an excursion in the area by Ángel Martino, who combed the ball at the door of the large area and enabled Ferreira, who did not fail. Boedo’s team had just a couple of chances, but they did not achieve equality. The detail in the first half was the expulsion of Insúa, who had a confrontation with Gabriel Heinze and then wanted to go in search of Gringo’s field assistant Mariano Toedtli. Nicolás Lamolina decided to expel the Barça coach and the collaborator of the Rosario coach.
In addition, the homeowner tried modifications that had no effect and the visit was lethal as a result. The gross mistakes in the last line of San Lorenzo facilitated the plays of Newell’s second and third goals that, if they had tried, could have come back with an even greater difference.
With this result, Cuervo lost ground in the fight to enter the Libertadores 2024 and also lost its undefeated record in the competition. Meanwhile, they missed out on being among the first four in Zone B of the League Cup, which will play in the quarterfinals of the competition. This Tuesday they will play the quarterfinals of the Argentine Cup against San Martín de San Juan in San Luis. Meanwhile, Rojinegro was second in the group (along with Belgrano), one point behind the leader Racing and waiting for what happens in the rest of the day. In addition, it approached the qualification zone for the Sudamericana 2024 in the Annual Table.

LANÚS-DEFENSE AND JUSTICE:
Defense and Justice visit to Lanús
Two beaten teams in need of a victory will collide at the Ciudad de Lanús Néstor Díaz Pérez Stadium. Lanús, which has just fallen in the Clásico del Sur, seeks to resurface against a Defensa y Justicia team that was eliminated in the semifinals of the Copa Sudamericana. With the arbitration of Fernando Espinoza, it televises Public TV and ESPN.
El Granate, despite the change of coach, cannot find its way, having gone eight games without victories and being the only First Division team that has not yet triumphed so far this semester. As a result of this meager streak, he gave up a lot of ground in the fight to enter an international competition and began to look with concern at the table of next season’s averages.
El Halcón is also going through a small crisis after four games without a win and being left out of the international tournament after falling in its series against Liga de Quito of Ecuador. However, with an accumulated 53 points, Julio Vaccari’s men are the last to qualify for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores.

Pincha, which also continues in the Argentine Cup race after eliminating Independiente on penalties, has gone five games without defeats and has just drawn a goalless draw against Gimnasia in the La Plata classic. Although in the tournament it is second to last in Zone B with only six units, with a total of 51 points it appears in the Copa Sudamericana zone, close to positions in the Libertadores (two with Defensa y Justicia).
Tomba, for its part, has gone eight games without losing; but six ties in a row. With 9 points, he appears expectant in the League Cup and with a total of 50 points he is eighth in the Annual Table, which gives him a place in the next Copa Sudamericana.

On the other hand, Matador’s poor production in this tournament with six points in seven appearances put him in the red zone.
