El Ciclón and El Pirata are jockeying for a spot among the top eight in Argentina’s most competitive federal matchups.
The 2023 Argentina Cup has reached the round of 16, with sixteen teams still standing and hungry for silver. The Brigadier López de Santa Fe Stadium serves as a dramatic backdrop for a clash between two first-division clubs, as San Lorenzo faces Belgrano in a high-stakes knockout duel.
El Ciclón earned their progression by defeating Sarmiento de Resistencia and Platense on penalties, while El Pirata cruised past Independiente Rivadavia and Claypole inside regular time. The pair’s paths crossed recently, last Saturday, on date 2 of the Professional League Cup, in a controversial 2-2 draw that included two penalties crafted by the Bareiro-led Barça unit for Belgrano.
The Argentina Cup 2023 has been underway since the outset, with qualified teams, a developing table, and a full slate of fixtures shaping the narrative week by week.
As the tournament unfolds, fans and pundits alike are watching the dynamics between these storied clubs, mindful of the Cup’s history of upsets and breakthrough performances that can redefine a season for any party involved.
