League Cup 2021: this is the positions and how the next date is played

While the fifth date progresses, which will be completed on Monday with three games, the Argentine League Cup offers meetings for all tastes.

Zone 1 has already completed its seven games to date. And after five games, there’s plenty of parity: nine points separate the bottom of the top four. at the top they appear River, Defense and Justice, Union and Sarmiento. The four won and so did Racing and Newell’s, brand new escorts. Everything is very changeable: Platense, leader last week, fell back to the ninth step with his fall in Santa Fe.

El Millonario did his thing with a tight victory in the classic against San Lorenzo (1-0). The Halcón de Beccacece, who beat Banfield 3-2 as a visitor, was faithful to its essence as a scoring team and somewhat fragile at heart: it is the team with the most goals scored and the one that suffered the most. Unión is the antithesis, all savings: barely 4 goals (less than 1 per game on average) and only 2 conceded, and Verde de Junín took three points from Paraná, where they further sank bottom-ranked Patronato.

In Zone 2, send Students, now with 13 points. The Russian Zielinski team saved the undefeated with a goal from Leandro Díaz at 43 minutes of the second half to tie Vélez 1-1 in Liniers. It can be reached by Colón, if those led by Julio César Falcioni get the three points this Monday night against Tigre. Hurricane jumped to the third step with his celebrated success in the Bombonera (1-0), and incidentally, pushed Boca to the fourth step. To the Battaglia team Two highly demanding duels are coming, both as visitors, against Estudiantes and River.

The fifth date will end this Monday with the Godoy Cruz vs. Independent (at 17, TNT Sports), Arsenal vs. Lanús (19.15, Fox Sports Premium) and Tigre vs. Colon (21.30, Public TV)
