Deportivo Madryn v Estudiantes de Río: battle for second promotion | OneFootball

The first leg was for the Cordoban team, which won 2-0 at home to be one step away from the Professional League.

Deportivo Madryn and Estudiantes de Río Cuarto are playing this Sunday for the second promotion to the First Division in the return leg of the Primera Nacional Playoff final. The series is 2-0 in favor of the Cordoban team, which won convincingly in the first leg.

The match will begin at 17:00 at the Abel Sastre Stadium, with a capacity for 25,000 people, and will be televised by TyC Sports. The referee will be Facundo Tello and in the VAR will be Nicolás Lamolina.

Madryn arrives with the obligation to win by two goals to force penalties and by three or more to achieve direct promotion. In the first leg, they lost 2-0 with goals from Tomás González and Juan Antonini, so they will have to aim for a historic comeback in front of their fans.

The Chubut team, involved in several controversial situations during the tournament, was the leader of Zone A with 60 points but lost the first promotion to Gimnasia de Mendoza on penalties. In the Playoff, they eliminated Gimnasia de Jujuy with an aggregate of 4-0 —including the AFA resolution that awarded them a 3-0 win in the suspended match— and left Deportivo Morón behind thanks to the sporting advantage after a 1-1 aggregate in the semifinals.

On the other hand, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto arrives strengthened after a very solid Playoff. They were second in Zone B with 60 points and eliminated Patronato (2-1) and Gimnasia y Tiro de Salta (2-0). In the semifinals, they struggled against Estudiantes de Buenos Aires, with whom they tied 1-1 on aggregate, but advanced due to the sporting advantage.

The Cordoban team will seek to return for the second time to the top category, where they participated between 1983 and 1985. Deportivo Madryn, on the other hand, will try to reach the top.
