One of the curiosities of the Professional League Cup quarter-finals is that River is ‘local’ to his rival’s city.
Unlike the two previous editions of the Professional League Cupthis time all parties of the Playoffs are played in a neutral stadium. In both 2021 and 2022, the quarter-finals were played on the field of the best placed in the regular phase, but this time there was a change in the regulations that introduced a curiosity.
THE LIVE SUMMARY OF RIVER VS BELGRANO
WHY RIVER AND BELGRANO PLAY IN CÓRDOBA
Before the final date was played, in which the positions of the zones and the respective crossings were defined, the four locations for the quarter-finals were announced: Cordoba, San Juan, San Luis and Salta. And after they are paired River and Belgranoit was known that the match would be in the Mario Kempes Stadium.
Although Pirata has long been at home in the Julio César Villagra Stadium in Barrio Alberdi and uses the provincial stadium less and less, the truth is that it is still a familiar ground, although this time it is even a visitor, since the Millonario , having finished second in Zone A, it is legally the home team.
