The second legs of the Copa Túnel Subfluvial quarterfinals, jointly organized by the Liga Santafesina and the Liga Paranaense de Fútbol, got underway. The opening match was played at the Nery Pumpido grounds, where Unión lost to Neuquén de Paraná by the narrowest of margins but still advanced to the semifinals after winning the first leg 3-1. This second stage will be completed this Wednesday the 6th, with matchups split between Santa Fe and Paraná.

Unión advanced to the semifinals

As scheduled, at the Nery Alberto Pumpido grounds, the team from López y Planes Avenue lost in the ninety minutes of the second leg but still moved on to the next round of the Copa Túnel Subfluvial: the advantage earned at Luis Renaud allowed the reigning Santafesina champion to win on aggregate. Today, the other semifinal spots will be decided.

Neuquén defeated Unión 1-0 away from home with a goal by Federico Sangoy in the 18th minute of the first half, in a match refereed by Santiago Mainero of Paraná. The aggregate score ended 3-2 in favor of Tatengue. The visitors showed great commitment and fought until the end, but the side led by Juan De Olivera had won 3-1 in the capital of Entre Ríos and secured its place in this exciting competition.

The action will continue later today with three key matches. In Santa Fe, Colón will host Universidad del Litoral at 9 p.m. at the same venue. Sabalero faces a demanding task, having lost the first match 2-0, so it will need to overturn the series to stay alive in the competition.

In Paraná, the day will feature two matchups. At 6 p.m., at Presbítero Bartolomé Grella Stadium, Patronato will face Belgrano in a completely open series after a scoreless draw in the first leg. Later, at 10 p.m., Atlético Paraná will host Cosmos FC at Pedro Mutio Stadium (Dr. Carlos Federik), in another evenly balanced tie that ended 1-1 in the first meeting.

With clear advantages in some series and parity in others, the Copa Túnel Subfluvial promises intense finishes in the battle for the semifinal spots, in a tournament that strengthens regional competition between the Santafesina and Paranaense leagues.
