This Wednesday began date 13 of the League Cup, the penultimate of the group stage. With Racing and Students, the pointers of each zone, already classified, you fight for the other six places. And with the loss of Newell’s against San Lorenzo, River felt relieved and the quarter-final matches have been maintained since the close of the previous day.
