River fell in front of Temperley for the round of 32 of the Argentine Cup. In Mendoza, Millonario did not have his best performance and failed to win against Gasolero. Esequiel Ship He broke the deadlock with a great goal from a free kick, which was overshadowed by the agonizing equalizer of Fernando Martinez, on the last play of the game. After 1-1, in the penalty shootout, the team from the south of Greater Buenos Aires advanced to the next round and left the top candidate on the road.
The men of Walter Perazzo they eliminated those of Martin Demichelis of the federal contest. Temperley, who was always in the game and was never surpassed by River, cornered him against the goal in the final minutes. Franco Armani. He achieved equality, a situation that brought down the spirit of the Millonario players and from the twelve steps he took advantage of the weak performance of the former Atlético Nacional, who did not guess any of the six penalties that were kicked against him.
Gasolero’s tie came through the way that Demichelis’ River suffers the most: the aerial game. Whether in corner kicks, free kicks, crosses or direct laterals, Núñez’s team suffers. And that was Temperley’s goal. On the third throw-in in a row into the area and after two players who brushed the ball, he appeared unmarked Martinez to convert the Chilean goal.
Reaching the definition from the 12 steps became karma for River. The background doesn’t help him either: lost the last six penalty shootouts he played. The Millonario’s last happy ending was in 2019 against Cruzeiro, for the Copa Libertadores. From there he fell twice with Mouthone with Patronage, Inter Porto Alegre, Central Rosary and Temperleywith separate eliminations.
How was the Argentine Cup draw
From now on, the Argentine Cup lost one of the great contenders to win the 2024 edition. Another favorite that fell by the wayside was Racingwho said goodbye after another unexpected victory from a Temperley resident, Climbing Remedies WorkshopsSome weeks ago.

The other giant of Argentine football, Mouthhas to face Admiral Brown, in a match that still does not have a defined date. The one from La Ribera is a favorite by a wide margin but will try not to fall into the same mistakes as River and Racing to continue in a cup that would later have him crossing paths with Tallleres or Colón.
The threat of Boca
The team led by Diego Martínez will have to measure forces against Admiral Brown, for the round of 32 of the Argentine Cup. Boca, which continues to rise from the football side, does not confirm it in the results. For this reason, the Xeneize must take serious precautions from the aurinegro, to avoid a mess similar to that of River and Racing.
In addition to having its president Maximiliano Levya well-known Boca fan, La Frigate has many players in its ranks who went through Xeneize. Thomas Arrieta, Natan Acosta, Rodrigo Pittavino, Bruno Cenci and Santiago Gauna They arrived in free condition, after completing the lower ones in Boca Predio. Instead, Tomas Diazson of ‘Cata’, loaned him for one year to the San Justo club.
Almirante’s present is not at all hopeful. It is located in the second to last of the Zone B of the First B National. In 16 dates he only won one match, tied 7 and lost in the remaining 8.

The eliminations of River and Racing in the round of 16 were two unexpected bombshells for the Argentine Cup but they fell very well on the teams that run at the bottom of the table. Now, Estudiantes de La Plata becomes the team with the best chance of reaching the final. They must play against Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero and then Newell’s awaits them. Whoever comes out of these matches alive will meet in the quarterfinals against the winner of Miter de Santiago del Estero and Temperley, a round of 16 clash typical of the Primera Nacional.
Argentinos Juniors, Huracán, Platense and Banfield, among others, know that they will no longer have to face the Avellaneda Academy to get into the semifinals, so dedicating all the plenary sessions to the Argentine Cup may be a more than valid objective to try to celebrate some title.
The Argentine Cup and its wonders, an exciting tournament full of surprises, in which “anyone can pass”, as the TV promotion that announces the matches of each phase says.
