The Professional League Cup gave away two defining days of pure drama. First, zone A determined that River Plate, Argentinos Juniors, Central Tents y Velez Sarsfield They were going to fight for the title. This Tuesday, zone B was resolved, in which it was already classified for the quarterfinals Godoy Cruzand where they joined Lanus, Boca Juniors y Racing.
On one side of the draw, according to the tournament regulations, there were duels between River (first of “A”) – Boca (room of “B”) and Students of La Plata (second of “B”) – Central Tents (third of “A”). Both winners of these matches, in a single match next weekend (day, time and venue to be confirmed), will face each other in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, on the lower side, the clash between Godoy Cruz (first of “B”) – Velez (room of “A”), while Argentines (second of “A”) will be measured against Defense and Justice (third of “B”).

The quarterfinal matches will all be on a neutral court, with a penalty shootout in the event of a tie within the regulation 90 minutes.
When and where is River vs Boca played for the League Cup?
Everyone wants to know when River and Boca will play in the quarterfinals of the Professional League Cup. There are three items that are confirmed: it will be on Sunday, April 21, at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium in Córdoba and with an audience from both fans. This event will occur for the first time since the final of the 2018 Copa Libertadores in Madrid, Spain.
What remains to be defined this Wednesday by the organization is not minor and is about the schedule. Those in charge of security in the province want it to be as early as possible, around 3:30 p.m., but that also clashes with the sale of rights abroad by the Professional League, which wants it at 5:00 p.m.
The reality is that Millonario, first in zone A, and the regulation 90 minutes.
To choose Sunday over Saturday, various situations were taken into account. Mainly the transfer of the fans and that both teams will play for the International Cups as a visitor next week: on Wednesday River will do so in Paraguay against Libertad for the Libertadores and 24 hours later Boca will appear in Brazil against Fortaleza.
Estudiantes and Argentinos, who will face Barracas Central and Defensa y Justicia in the quarterfinals, will play on Tuesday, so it was impossible for them to appear on Sunday due to the little rest they would have. El Halcón, the other representative in the Conmebol tournaments, will play next Thursday, so it has no restrictions.
