The first phase of the 2024 League Cup has entered the books and already has the eight protagonists of the quarterfinals, matches that were finalized this Tuesday night, with the matches in zone B. The only one that had His guaranteed ticket, and as the leader of the group, was Godoy Cruz. The people from Mendoza were joined by Estudiantes, Defensa y Justicia and Boca who… play with River! That’s how it is, Don’t make plans for the weekend because a new Superclásico is coming. The other matches will be: Students vs. Barracas Central, Argentines vs. Defense and Justice (both would go on Saturday) and Godoy Cruz vs. Vélez (on Sunday, like Super).
There was some possibility that the derby would take place taking into account various combinations, which were not being generated in the early stages. Because Xeneize was classified third with its victory over Tomba in La Bombonera, and River was waiting as the leader of zone A after its victory on Monday against Instituto in Córdoba. In any case, the crossing could only occur in the final. Then, Godoy Cruz, Lanús (they beat Estudiantes 1-0), Boca and Racing entered, for their victory vs. Belgrano.
But that possibility was always latent, or at least after Edinson Cavani will score 1-0 in the Bombonera in the PT. Because? It was only enough that Defense and Justice turned Varela into Newell’s a bit; In this way, Halcón took Racing out of the conversation and placed third in the area, relegating Boca to fourth place. And that’s what happened: at 21′, Santiago Ramos Mingo (from Córdoba who passed through Xeneize) opened the scoring in the South, and with that, the Superclásico also opened the door for him.
Boca scored with a goal from Cavani (Fernando de la Orden).
Now… where will it be played? It will be confirmed this Wednesday, but unofficially the Kempes of Cordoba is managed as the headquarters, on Sunday afternoon (16 or 17). And as a no-nonsense fact: There will be an audience from both clubs (the first after Madrid for the Libertadores). Unpublished for these times of classics with just a t-shirt.
River was waiting with Colidio’s goals.
Thus, in addition, the oldest classic of Argentine football was disaffected. Because with the results of the first times, Millo faced Racing, which defeated Belgrano and made sure to enter the last car of the group, fourth. In the end, and beyond their 4-0 win, they were left out, as Independiente.
