Editorial Team

For the quarterfinals of the play-offs, Argentinos Juniors will seek to maintain their good home performance against San Lorenzo. The winner of this series will play against the winner of the match between River and Platense, which will be held tomorrow starting at 8:30 PM.

Both teams are free of other commitments, so they will go all out to secure a spot in the semifinals of the 2025 Torneo Apertura. In case of a tie in the 90 minutes, the ticket to the next phase will be decided in a penalty shootout.

How is each team doing and when did they last meet?

Argentinos Juniors comes to this match with a great level of soccer. After finishing first in Zone A with just one defeat, the team from La Paternal faced Instituto in the round of 16 of the play-offs. In that match against the Cordobeses, Nicolás Diez's team comfortably won 3-1, with goals from Molina, Herrera, and Sosa.

Meanwhile, San Lorenzo, amidst economic and institutional chaos, barely made it through the round of 16 against Tigre. Miguel Ángel Russo's team defeated Victoria's team 2-1, with a goal at the end of regulation time by Alexis Cuello. It should be noted that El Cuervo will have the significant absence of Elián Irala, as he was sent off after a mistake in midfield.
