The 2023 Neuquén Cup has the four protagonists who will go for the title, with the semifinals confirmed: Patagonia vs. Don Bosco and Maronese vs. Saint Patrick of Chañar. There were surprises in the quarterfinal duels and now a great definition is coming in the second competition of the season carried out by the Neuquén Soccer League.
Surprise in the north of Neuquén
The big surprise of the quarterfinals came in Rincón de los Sauces, where the local team lost 3-2 against San Patricio. They had just faced each other in the Regional Amateur last Saturday and it had been a 3-0 victory for León, but there was revenge.
Fernando Inda put Rincón ahead at the dawn of the game (2 minutes in) and all the emotions were left for last. Lucas González equalized at 30 ST, Enzo Jara turned it around at 37 and Oscar Páez stretched differences and Facundo Rueda gave Rincón a minimum of hope. There was no more time and San Patricio earned his ticket to the semis.
His rival on the way to the final will be Maronese, who will wait for him in the west, with the great possibility of securing the double crown in the 2023 season.. El Dino, which also plays with two points and has a chance to continue in the Regional Amateur, had to sweat to leave Los Canales on the road. He always looked for it and found it two minutes from the end with a penalty from Henry Sáez (1-0).
Another trip of Don Bosco to the capital
In the other key, Patagonia was already there, which on Sunday left Pacifico on the road (4-3 in the penalty shootout after equaling 2-2) and now they will face Don Bosco, who struck the other blow as a visitor, because they defeated Unión Vecinal 2-1, in Colonia Valentina.
The Zapalino neighborhood team started down on the scoreboard, but pressed the accelerator in the second half and had its reward: Francisco Cechich tied at 28 minutes of the second half and Fernando Riquelme, at 35 minutes, put the final figures: 2-1 and now he will have to return to the capital to face Patagonia.
