Students from La Plata and Boca Juniors must decide, together with the Professional League, what day the remaining 63 minutes of the match will be played, which had to be suspended due to the decompensation of the Pincha footballer, Javier Altamirano.
Although a tentative date was initially considered, it would not have been accepted by one of the parties and there is a second and final date? option. The next few hours will be momentous because both teams fight to enter the qualifying zone.
The La Liga authorities know that it must be resolved quickly and not only because of the teams in question, but also because other teams depend on what happens with this game between Estudiantes and Boca Juniors.
For now, the chance of the game resuming in the middle of next week (Tuesday the 26th, Wednesday the 27th or Thursday the 28th) is practically ruled out because Boca Juniors has four players summoned to the national teams and does not want to offer a sporting advantage.
Luis Advíncula for Peru, Nicolás Valentini (Sub 23) and Cristian Medina (A Major) for Argentina, and Norberto Briasco for Armenia, will not be able to play with Xeneize, with the exception that goalkeeper Leandro Brey was removed from the Sub Team 23 commanded by Javier Mascherano, due to the injuries of Chiquito Romero and Javier García.

Now, the second tentative date for the remaining 63 minutes to take place may be the weekend of April 14, when the last date of the League Cup was scheduled to be played (matchday 14).
The rumor that began to spread strongly is the possibility of postponing the matches that involve the teams with a chance of qualifying for the final phase of the tournament and that Estudiantes and Boca complete the match that weekend. Then, during the week, the rest of the pending matches corresponding to Zone B of the La Liga Cup would take place.
This weekend there will be no activity for the local tournament, due to the FIFA date that will have the Argentine team playing two friendlies (against El Salvador and Costa Rica in the United States, on March 22 and 26 respectively), but there will be Boca Juniors He will debut in the Argentine Cup against Central Norte de Salta. This meeting will take place on Saturday from 8:30 p.m. in Santiago del Estero.
In addition to the final three rounds of the La Liga Cup, before the quarterfinals, several teams fighting for first place will have their debuts in both the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana. For this reason, the only possible gap would be the weekend of April 14 and the week of Wednesday the 17th, which are the only days when there is no local or international activity. Will there be an agreement?
