Platense and Godoy Cruz de Mendoza will face each other in San Nicolás this afternoon as part of the first semifinal of the 2023 Professional Football League Cup.
The match will be played at the Estadio Único de San Nicolás, starting at 6 p.m., Leandro Rey Hilfer will be in charge of dispensing justice, Fernando Echenique will be on the VAR and it will be televised by TNT Sports and ESPN Premium.
“Calamar” has just struck a blow by beating Huracán 4-2 on penalties, after having tied agonizingly 1-1 at the Bicentenario Stadium in San Juan in the quarterfinals of the League Cup.
Martín Palermo’s team did not play well and was behind on the scoreboard for almost the entire second half until Luciano Ferreyra tied it and took the match to penalties: in that instance, Ramiro Macagno saved two executions and gave them a place in the semifinals to those of Vicente López.
In relation to the victory against “Globo”, the coach would maintain the same eleven with the 4-4-2 as tactical drawing.
For its part, Daniel Oldrá’s Godoy Cruz de Mendoza comes from beating Banfield 5-3 on penalties after 0-0 in regulation time at the La Pedrera stadium in San Luís in a flat and close match that ended in the definition from the twelve steps where, after Emanuel Insua missed the second shot for “Taladro”, Hernán López Muñoz converted the fifth and sealed the pass to the semifinals.
In relation to the victory against those from the South of Greater Buenos Aires, the Tombino coach will make a change: Federico Rasmussen for Brian Salvareschi in defense. In addition, there are two doubts: Bruno Leyes or Cristián Núñez and Daniel Barrea or Salomón Rodríguez.
