In the 32nd Round of the Federal Cup, the T and the Undertaker are set to clash at the Carlos Augusto Mercado Luna Stadium in La Rioja. The match marks another stage in Argentina’s cup competition where the path to the next round remains unsettled and highly competitive. Workshops and Chacarita, eager to advance, will square off for a chance to meet River Plate in the following round, a team that already secured its spot by defeating Racing de Córdoba.
The T sits just behind River Plate in the Professional League standings after a convincing 3-1 win over Tigre last weekend. Meanwhile, Chacarita, the Córdoba-based squad, comes off a strong run, having reached the final of the last federal competition, where they were edged out in a tight championship by Patronato.
Funebrero, on the other hand, sits second in Zone B of the Primera Nacional and recently defeated Atlético Rafaela 3-0 to bolster its campaign. The teams arrive with momentum, looking to capitalize on this high-stakes encounter and keep their cup dreams alive.
