Return leg schedule for the Primera Nacional play-off semi-finals | OneFootball

The first finalist of the Primera Nacional Playoff will be decided this Saturday, when Estudiantes de Río Cuarto hosts their namesake from Buenos Aires.

The match, which will take place at the Estadio Ciudad de Río Cuarto Antonio Candini, is scheduled for 8:00 PM and can be watched on TyC Sports. The appointed referee is Ariel Penel.

Estudiantes de Río Cuarto will not have it easy, as they will try to overturn the 1-0 loss suffered in the first leg, where the Buenos Aires team won thanks to a goal by forward Mateo Acosta seven minutes into the second half.

The team from Córdoba only needs to win by a single goal, as in the event of an aggregate tie, they will advance due to the sporting advantage they have for finishing higher in the annual standings.

Both teams shared Zone B in the regular phase of the Primera Nacional, where Estudiantes de Río Cuarto finished second with 60 points, while the Buenos Aires team came in third, just one point behind.

The other finalist of the Playoff will be decided on Sunday, when at 5:15 PM Deportivo Madryn, a team that has curiously benefited greatly in recent weeks from various sanctions against their rivals, hosts Deportivo Morón.

The first leg ended 1-0 in favor of Deportivo Morón, who won thanks to a goal by defender Franco Vázquez four minutes into the second half.

However, the “Gallito” will not be able to count on their head coach, Wálter Otta, as he was suspended for stating that “going against Deportivo Madryn is like going against the horses of commissioners Tapia and Toviggino.”

This sanction once again affects a Deportivo Madryn rival, who in the quarterfinals benefited when Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy was handed a 3-0 loss, even though they were leading 1-0 at halftime.

A few weeks ago, after the presentation of the Torneo Federal Regional Amateur, the president of Deportivo Madryn, Ricardo Sastre, told Agencia Noticias Argentinas that with Tapia and Toviggino everything became “easier” for them.
