With a very good "vibe" due to the relationship between the respective coaches (Martín Minella at Colón and Nicolás Vazzoler at Unión), the two institutions quickly agreed to confirm that the semifinal clash for the Santa Fe Cup will be played on Saturday, September 13, from 3 PM, at the Cementerio de los Elefantes. As is known, seeking the first finalist of the 2025 season, if there is no winner after the 90 regulation minutes, penalties will be taken. Both teams will bring their best: the coaches will be on the benches and the players participating in the AFA Reserve Projection tournament will be on the field. In the other bracket, Centenario de San José de la Esquina and 9 de Julio de Rafaela will face off.
That Saturday, September 13, considering the professional commitments of both teams, was left free, as on Sunday, September 14, both will be playing away: Unión, led by Leo Madelón, will go to La Plata to visit Gimnasia from 3 PM, and Colón, led by Ezequiel Medrán, will have to play against Talleres in Remedios de Escalada. Additionally, since both teams are playing the Santa Fe Cup with their best (their AFA reserves), a weekend date had to be found, as the sabaleros and tatengues matches for the Projection Tournament are scheduled for midweek.
Next week, leading up to the Colón-Unión classic on Saturday, September 13, for the Santa Fe Cup, both teams already have their commitments scheduled. Colón, led by Martín Minella, will be the first to see action, hosting Barracas Central on Tuesday, September 9, from 3 PM at the 4 de junio sports complex. Unión, led by Nicolás Vazzoler, will be at home at La Tatenguita, hosting Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza: Thursday, September 11, from 3 PM.
It is possible that on Wednesday, September 10, at a time to be determined, a press conference will be held to launch the classic, where the Santa Fe Cup will be displayed, with the presence of key figures from Colón and Unión expected. It should be noted that the winner of the Santa Fe derby will advance to the final of the Santa Fe Cup. On Sunday, September 21, the other finalist will be determined: Centenario de San José de la Esquina, the team of Facundo Bertoglio, will host 9 de Julio de Rafaela.
