Instituto v Talleres: decisive Clásico ends regular season in Alta Córdoba | OneFootball

T needs to win to avoid depending on other results.

Instituto and Talleres will face each other this Sunday from 5:00 p.m. at the Estadio Monumental Presidente Perón, for matchday 16 of Zone A of the Clausura, in a key match for T, who can secure their spot in the playoffs. The match will be broadcast on ESPN Premium and will have Yael Falcón Pérez as the referee, while Hernán Mastrángelo will be in charge of VAR.

The team led by Gato Oldrá no longer has a chance to make it to the playoffs or to qualify for international cups. However, they come into this final round with the motivation to complicate things for their classic rival, with whom they have a fierce rivalry.

Instituto is coming off a 2-1 loss to Sarmiento and has now suffered three consecutive defeats, closing out an inconsistent year that went from good to bad. Amid this situation, the club has made an important decision: they will exercise the purchase option and acquire 80% of Alex Luna’s transfer rights, who will sign a contract until December 2029.

Talleres aims for qualification and depends on itself

On the visiting side, Talleres arrives in great form. The team led by Carlos Tevez has won three of the last four matches and will start the round in seventh place, with 20 points and a strong chance of finishing among the top eight.

The equation is simple: if T wins, they qualify. If they draw or lose, they will have to wait for other results to know their fate. For this match, Tevez will not be able to count on Juan Camilo Portilla, who has been called up to the Colombian National Team for the FIFA date.

With contrasting situations and a lot at stake, Instituto and Talleres promise an intense duel in Alta Córdoba, where one will look to end the year with pride and the other to secure their ticket to the next round.
