At the start of the second round of the Isósceles Cup, Newell’s delivered a shock in Barrio Roma by defeating Colón de Santa Fe. In addition, Colón de San Justo celebrated in Santo Tomé, and Guadalupe confirmed their great form by overcoming Cosmos. On Saturday, the interzonal matches will be played, with the school derby between La Salle and Ateneo as the main attraction.

The Primera A “Norberto Serenotti” Clausura Tournament has already begun its second round, and it did so with resounding results. On Thursday night, Newell’s Old Boys from Barrio Roma wrote one of those pages that invite you to dream. The team led by Claudio Gaitán defeated Colón de Santa Fe, one of the league’s giants, 1-0 thanks to a goal by Emiliano Acosta. It was a hard-fought victory, with a smart game plan and a lot of collective sacrifice, allowing the team from Barrio Roma to secure three key points in their quest to stay in the division and, why not, dare to aim higher.

The “Sabalero,” meanwhile, could not find the formula to break down the home side’s resistance. They created chances but lacked clarity in the final third. Acosta’s early goal was decisive, and from then on, Newell’s retreated in an organized manner, closing off avenues and betting on the counterattack. The final whistle sparked celebrations in Barrio Roma, with fans supporting and celebrating their players’ effort.

In Santo Tomé, Independiente could not make home advantage count against Colón de San Justo, who won 1-0 with a goal from Claudio Albarracín. The “Conquistador” showed class in a tough match and took home three golden points, fueling hopes of being a contender in this Clausura. Miguel Restelli’s team showed experience, struck at the right moment, and defended their lead tooth and nail.

Meanwhile, Sportivo Guadalupe extended their great run. Tobaldo’s team defeated Cosmos 1-0 away, with a goal from Nicolás Jovellano. Thus, Guadalupe has strung together two wins from as many games and has a perfect record, consolidating themselves as one of the Clausura leaders. Their progress is generating excitement and confirms the work of a squad that had already shown good signs in the first half of the year.

With these early matches, the second round of the “Norberto Serenotti” Clausura is already revving up, but the most exciting part is yet to come. This Saturday, the interzonal games will be played, with a match that promises to be high voltage: the school derby between La Salle and Ateneo Inmaculada. Eduardo Magnín’s team will look to be strong at home, while Agustín Bianco’s side will seek another win in this historic clash that always stirs passions.

The Saturday slate will also feature other interesting matchups. Academia AC will face Universidad under the refereeing of Carlos Céspedes. Gimnasia y Esgrima will take on Pucará, with Ángel Cristoforato as the main referee. Juventud Unida will host Deportivo Nobleza, in a match refereed by Joaquín Urbani. In addition, Nacional will face Náutico El Quillá with Emiliano Maldonado officiating, while Vecinal Gálvez will host Sanjustino with Juan Bonnín as referee. Finally, Ciclón Norte will go up against La Perla del Oeste, under the watch of Ignacio Castellano.

The round will conclude on Sunday night, by the shores of Laguna Setúbal. There, starting at 8:00 p.m., Ciclón Racing will host Unión de Santa Fe in an attractive duel, with Lucas Muga as referee. The “Tatengue,” who drew in their debut, will try to claim their first victory in the tournament, while the coastal team will look to make the most of their home advantage to make headlines.

The Isósceles Cup of the “Norberto Serenotti” Clausura is taking shape and makes it clear from the start that it will be a tightly contested tournament, with surprises and upsets that give hope to more than one. Newell’s opened the round with a dramatic twist that strengthens them, Guadalupe reaffirmed their status as contenders, and Colón de San Justo took a character-building win in Santo Tomé. Now, all eyes will be on the school derby and the Sunday clash on the banks of the Setúbal, where the ball will roll again with the undiminished passion that characterizes the Santafesina League.

The coming days will test teams looking to consolidate themselves and others needing to regain ground. But if anything has been proven at the start of this second round, it’s that in the Clausura, nothing is guaranteed: the competition is even and every match is decided by details. Thus, with emotions running high, the Santafesina League continues writing, chapter by chapter, a story full of rivalry, effort, and dreams shared by all who love local football.
