Professional League 2022: this is the position table and the way to the cups

The Professional Football League goes through days of many emotions, classics and tensions. In a few days, several teams were left without the coaches with whom they started the tournament: Boca (Battaglia left), Colón (without Falcioni), Lanús (without Almirón) and Central Córdoba (Rondina resigned). And while the seventh day is disputed, the only pointer is Newell’s, who got a 1-1 draw in their visit to Platense and remains firmly up with 15 points.

Avellaneda’s classic went to Racingwhat beat Independiente in the Cylinder 1-0 with a great goal from Gabriel Hauche. Beyond suffering a bit in the last minutes, the Academy was left with three points that leave Fernando Gago’s team a shot away from the top positions; its opposite is the Red, each time further away from the fight for the title and with coach Eduardo Domínguez on the tightrope.

At night, River suffered a hard and unexpected defeat against Godoy Cruz 2-0 at the Monumental. Nothing went well for Gallardo’s team, who were sent off, even when the locals played a good part of the game with one more due to the expulsion of Gianluca Ferrari at 41 minutes into the first half. The third fall in the championship leaves River six points behind the leader Newell’s.

On Saturday night, Newell’s could have taken a good lead in the championship, but had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Vicente López versus Platense. The Rosario team went ahead in the account thanks to a shared blooper between Pignani and goalkeeper Ledesma, but Esquivel equalized it for Calamar with a fantastic bombshell to the right angle.

San Lorenzo gave himself a great pleasure: he won again at the Nuevo Gasómetro after ten games, he did it for the first time in 2022, and he exacerbated the crisis of a Boca whose elimination in the Copa Libertadores generated an internal earthquake. El Ciclón won 2-1 and, beyond the ups and downs in their performance, they occupy an expectant position, while the xeneizes moved away after suffering their third loss in a row.

At the beginning of the date, Carlos Tevez celebrated his first victory as coach of Rosario Central after two setbacks, by beating Sarmiento 1-0 in Arroyito with a goal from the youthful Buonanotte.

Classification for the Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana

Argentina has six places for the Copa Libertadores in 2023. Boca obtained the first ticket by winning the Professional League Cup. The champion of the current League will access directly. The same will be achieved by the Argentine Cup. The remaining places will go to the first three clubs in the annual general table, which includes the points obtained in the group stage of the LPF Cup (13 games) and the League (total: 40 games). The third of those teams will go to the Libertadores playoff.

Meanwhile, the South American 2023 will play another six teams, which will emerge from the general table and will be the ones located after those classified for the Copa Libertadores. If a club already classified by another instance is repeated, the place will go to the next in that table.
