At the opening of the second round of the Isósceles Cup, Newell’s pulled off 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 prevailing against 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 did so with resounding results. On Thursday night, Newell’s Old Boys from Barrio Roma wrote one of those pages that inspire dreams. 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 Barrio Roma side to earn three crucial points in their bid to stay in the division and, why not, dare to aim higher.

The “Sabalero,” meanwhile, couldn’t 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 sat back in an organized fashion, closing down spaces and betting on the counterattack. The final whistle sparked celebrations in Barrio Roma, with fans supporting and celebrating their players’ commitment.

In Santo Tomé, Independiente was unable to 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 three golden points that fuel their hopes of being contenders 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. In this way, Guadalupe has strung together two wins from two matches and has a perfect score, consolidating themselves as one of the leaders of the Clausura. Their performance is generating excitement and confirms the work of a squad that had already shown positive signs in the first half of the year.

With these early matches, the second round of the “Norberto Serenotti” Clausura has already started to rev up, but the most exciting part is yet to come. This Saturday, the interzonal matches will be played, with a game 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 go for another win in this historic clash that always stirs passions.

The Saturday schedule will also feature other interesting matchups. Academia AC will face Universidad with Carlos Céspedes as referee. Gimnasia y Esgrima will take on Pucará, with Ángel Cristoforato as the main official. 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 face La Perla del Oeste, under the watchful eye of Ignacio Castellano.

The round will conclude on Sunday night, by the banks of Laguna Setúbal. There, starting at 8 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 win in the tournament, while the coastal team will look to take advantage of their home ground to make a statement.

The Isósceles Cup of the “Norberto Serenotti” Clausura is taking shape and makes it clear from the start that it will be a fiercely contested tournament, with surprises and upsets that give many teams reasons to dream. Newell’s opened the round with a dramatic result 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 there’s one thing this start of the second round has shown, it’s that in the Clausura nothing is guaranteed: the competition is close, and every match is decided by small details. Thus, with emotions running high, the Santafesina League continues to write, chapter by chapter, a story full of rivalry, effort, and dreams shared by all who love local football.
