The three matches that began at 4:30 p.m. end. The big loser is Huracán, who needed other results to qualify. Of course, he had to win and he lost, so the Globe was eliminated after falling without mitigating factors to Independiente 3-0. Boca, meanwhile, beat Tigre 2-0 as a visitor, who finished third in the zone anyway. Aldosivi, for his part, also fell: despite going up 1-0 with a goal from Martín Cauteruccio, two goals from Facundo Kruspzky turned the score around in favor of Arsenal, who took a great victory from Mar del Plata.
Those led by Eduardo Domínguez thrashed Huracán, who lost an unbeatable chance. Leandro Fernández is the author of the 3-0 for the Reds. If he won, the Globe would be classified third due to the defeats of Aldosivi and Tigre, against Arsenal and Boca, respectively.
Avellaneda’s team confirms its victory in the Libertadores de América and beats Huracán 2-0 with a goal by Ecuadorian Juan Cazares. The result eliminates the Globe from the quarterfinals of the Professional League Cup. Those from Parque Patricios had to win and wait, but they didn’t do their job.
Those led by Leonardo Madelón turn the score around at the José María Minella in Mar del Plata against Aldosivi. Once again, Facundo Kruspzky scores for the Viaducto team. With this result, Tiburón is fourth in the standings and faces Racing in the quarterfinals. Tigre, then, is third and, for now, would play with River in the Monumental stadium.
The Viaducto team draws in Mar del Plata thanks to a goal by Facundo Kruspzky. The goal does not modify the positions.
Boca finds the goal with two players who emerged from the lower ranks: Cristian Medina rushes Oscar Salomón and steals the ball. Later, the midfielder has enough lucidity to enable Luis Vázquez, who had barely entered the field. Boca wins 2-0 in Victoria.
Roll the ball in Victoria, Mar del Plata and Avellaneda: they play Tigre 0 vs. Boca 1 (Benedetto), Independent 1 (Soñora) vs. Hurricane 0 and Aldosivi 1 (Cauteruccio) vs. Arsenal 0.
All matches are in the interval. In Mar del Plata, Aldosivi beat Arsenal 1-0 and is qualifying third. In Victoria, Boca beats Tigre 1-0 with a goal by Darío Benedetto, while in Libertadores de América, Independiente defeats Huracán 1-0, which is missing out on the quarterfinals of the 2022 Professional League Cup .
Darío Benedetto scores after a clearance by Marinelli, Tigre’s goalkeeper. Villa shoots at the goal, but Benedetto makes a pass, who defines free of mark and converts the first goal of the xeneize team. This goal does not change the positions: Tigre is fourth due to the defeat of Huracán.
Martín Cauteruccio opens the scoring in Mar del Plata and Tiburón goes ahead with Arsenal. With these results, those led by Martín Palermo are third, while Tigre (0-0 tie with Boca) is fourth.
With a precisely executed free kick, Alan Soñora put Avellaneda’s team in front: they beat Huracán 1-0.
The three games that define the two vacant passages to the quarterfinals began almost simultaneously. For now, none have goals.
The regulation of the Professional League Cup refers to article 112 of the general regulation of the AFA to settle classifications in case of equality of points. The criteria are as follows: goal difference, then goals for. According to the regulations, if the equality persists, the team that, “considering exclusively the games played during the contest, against those with whom the position is equal, would have obtained the greatest number of points or, in the event of equality of these, in the following order: greatest goal difference and greatest number of goals scored”.
In Victoria, Tigre receives Boca and a draw is enough to qualify. In Mar del Plata, Aldosivi, led by Martín Palermo, faces Arsenal with the certainty that a victory also qualifies him. Hurricane, the third in contention, has it more difficult: they need to beat Independiente as a visitor by as many goals as possible and wait to see what happens in Mar del Plata and Victoria. The Globe does not depend on itself.
