El Torito returns to victory in Mar del Plata after a drought that lasted four games, with two draws and two losses behind it.
The clash will unfold at Jose Maria Minella stadium as Alvarado hosts All Boys this Sunday at 3:30 p.m., a meeting that closes the thirtieth round of Group A in the First National 2023, a phase that is already entering its decisive stretch.
HOW DID THEY ARRIVE HERE?
El Torito steps into home territory carrying a draw earned in a hard fought battle with Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto at Antonio Candini. The visitors, guided by Iván Delfino, struck early through a Luis Silba goal two minutes into the first half, but Nicolás Ortiz responded on the 37th minute to keep the score level, leaving José María Martínez’s squad on 32 points in a zone led by Almirante Brown. It marked a second consecutive draw following a goalless stalemate with Defensores de Belgrano.
On the other side, All Boys snapped a recent lull by beating Flandria on home soil. Franco Toloza converted from the penalty spot at the 20th minute to give Floresta the win, and Norberto Paparatto’s team began to push their way up the standings, approaching the reduced table with a seven point gap.
Their most recent head to head ended 2-1 in favor of the Blanquinegros, courtesy of goals from Agustín Morales and Juan Pablo Zarate, while Sebastián Ramirez pulled one back for All Boys.
Worth noting is that the championship is divided into two groups, one with 18 teams and the other with 19, with each team playing a round trip schedule. The top finishers from both groups then face off in finals to decide promotion. The loser in the final drops to the reduced table along with teams finishing from second to eighth in the lower tier, while the bottom teams in each group are relegated. The penultimate teams in each group enter a repechage series to avoid relegation.
Fans can expect updates on how the match unfolds both live and through broadcast options available on television and via online platforms.
