El Rojo and El Matador are set to clash at the Lanús Stadium to decide the second-half reserve championship. The Proyección Cup 2023 reaches its decisive stage as Independiente faces Tigre, with a packed stadium and the energy of supporters from both sides filling the stands. The match is framed as the Reserve final for the second semester, a showcase of rising talents from Rojo and Matador who have navigated a path full of drama and disciplined football.
Independiente, under the guidance of Pedro Damián Monzón, advanced to the final stages by triumphing over Boca Juniors in the quarterfinals and then beating San Lorenzo in the semifinals, both victories delivered with 2–0 margins. The Avellaneda club demonstrated defensive resolve and clinical finishing, signaling a strong push for a trophy that would bolster its youth development program and bring additional prestige to its academy. On the opposite side, Tigre, coached by Juan Carlos Blengio, overcame a tough route to reach the title bout. They faced Instituto and Belgrano in the knockout rounds, and after surviving those challenges through penalties, they earned the right to compete for the championship. This final promises tension and competitive depth, rooted in the clubs’ commitment to nurturing young players who could potentially rise to the first team in the coming seasons.
In the event that the match remains level at the end of regulation, two further periods of 15 minutes each will be played to determine a winner. If the score is still tied after extra time, the title will be decided by a penalty shootout. This format keeps the outcome in suspense until the final whistle and reflects the competitive spirit of the competition, where every goal and save can tilt the balance in a young player’s career. The match will therefore be a defining moment for both clubs’ youth programs, highlighting the talent pipeline that sustains long-term success in the modern game.
