Copa Argentina: Belgrano de Córdoba eliminated Platense on penalties

The Copa Argentina already has 31 of the 32 clubs that will animate the 16th of the contest, after the classifications of Gimnasia La Plata and Belgrano de Córdoba this Wednesday. Only the crossing between Tigre and Los Andes remains (day and time to be confirmed) to define Deportivo Madryn’s rival and complete the 32nd.

The Wolf had to sweat more than expected to leave Liniers, from the First C, on the way in a match played at the Estudiantes de Buenos Aires stadium, in Caseros. The difference was made by striker Cristian Tarragona, who had a great season. The attacker arrived from Vélez at the beginning of the year and already has 9 goals in 15 games with the Gimnasia shirt.

With the victory 1-0, the team from La Plata will face Flandria, from the First National, in the next instance of the Cup. El Canario has already defeated a team from the highest category in the competition: it eliminated Sarmiento de Junín by 2 to 0.

Meanwhile, Belgrano beat Platense on penalties (4-1) after equalizing 1-1 in regular time. Although the result saw the classification of a Second Division team against a First Division team, it cannot be classified as a surprise. Pirata Cordobés is the absolute leader of the First National with 37 points in 15 dates and dreams of promotion, while Calamar finished last in its League Cup zone and is 26th in the averages over 28 teams.

The scoring was opened by Gonzalo Bergessio for Platense but Joaquín Susvielles tied it for Belgrano -he presented an alternative team- at the end of the first half of the match played in La Rioja.

In the series of penalties, Brian Mansilla, from Platense, failed in the first execution, and Manuel Vicentini blocked the second from Haibrany Ruiz Díaz to give Belgrano the classification, who was right in his four definitions.
