With a very good "vibe" due to the relationship between the respective coaches (Martín Minella in Colón and Nicolás Vazzoler in Unión), the two institutions quickly agreed to confirm that the semi-final clash for the Santa Fe Cup can be played on Saturday, September 13, from 3 pm, at the Elephant's Cemetery. As is known, in search of the first finalist of the 2025 season, if there is no winner after the regulation 90 minutes, penalties will be executed. Both will go with their best: the coaches will be on the benches and the players participating in the Reserve Projection tournament in AFA will be on the field. In the other key, Centenario de San José de la Esquina and 9 de Julio de Rafaela will cross.
That Saturday, September 13, considering the professional commitments of the two, was precisely freed, since on Sunday, September 14, both will be playing as visitors: Unión de Leo Madelón will go to La Plata to visit Gimnasia from 3 pm and Colón de Ezequiel Medrán will have to play against Talleres in Remedios de Escalada. In addition, as a consequence that both are playing the Santa Fe Cup with their best (their AFA reserves), a weekend date had to be found, since the matches of sabaleros and tatengues for the Projection Tournament are scheduled for midweek.
Next week, where the prelude to the Colón-Unión classic will be lived on Saturday, September 13 for the Santa Fe Cup, both already have their commitments scheduled. The first to see action will be Martín Minella's Colón, which on Tuesday, September 9, from 3 pm, will host Barracas Central at the 4 de junio sports complex. In the case of Nicolás Vazzoler's Unión, it will be local, at La Tatenguita, of Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza: Thursday, September 11 from 3 pm.
It is possible that on Wednesday, September 10, at a time to be determined, the press conference launching the classic will be held, where the Santa Fe Cup will be displayed, with the presence of protagonists from Colón and Unión expected. It should be remembered that the winner of the Santa Fe derby will reach the final of the Santa Fe Cup. The other finalist will be known on Sunday, September 21: Centenario de San José de la Esquina, Facundo Bertoglio's team, will host 9 de Julio de Rafaela.
