In the continuity of the date 24 of the Professional Soccer League, Velez couldn’t handle Godoy Cruztied 0 to 0 in Mendoza and gave life to Hurricane, Racing y Córdoba Workshopswhich maintain the expectations of the title. Three days before the end, the tournament is burning.
Vélez had received some good news in the title race when on Saturday night Hurricanewith scandal included, tied at home with Boca and wasted the chance to be the leader, putting pressure on the Fort.
Be careful, it is not the only rival that the Liniers team has, which left another two points along the way during its visit to Godoy Cruz in Mendozabut looks out of the corner of his eye Racing -with the impetus of being champion of the Copa Sudamericana- and Córdoba Workshopsstill with chances.
In any case, the one who continues to rule, as has been the case for quite some time, is Vélez, despite the fact that they accumulate draws. In fact, they had just tied at home with Lanús and previously with Riestra in Bajo Flores. With another point earned, the difference between the Liniers team and Huracán remains two points.
The big winner of these matches without wins for the two who were watching everyone from above is Racingwhich on Sunday the 17th of this month had beaten San Lorenzo 2-1 at the Nuevo Gasómetro and now added the emotional boost of consecration in the Copa Sudamericana.

Another who looks at everything out of the corner of his eye with the illusion of a blow is Workshops. The Cordobans beat 2-0 Sarmiento de Junín at the Mario Kempes and they also closed the gap. They reached 39 points and now they are six points away, but If he wins this Tuesday, in the visit to a difficult field like Unión de Santa Fe, he will be 3 units away.
