El Diablo Rojo
Starting XI
Well still not much regarding transfers, except some rumours and other stuff. However the only confirmed transfer is that Leandro Gracian will be going to Monterrey for only 4 miilion of dollars. This got me mad because i'm surprised Vélez is letting him go when they probably could get twice as much money, and also what is he expecting from Moneterrey? Now if that was the proper price for Gracian i'm a bit mad that other argentinian teams, Independiente comes to my mind even after they were interestested on getting him, didn't try to sign him for such ammount.
Well, the 2nd team that got promoted to the first division is Nueva Chicago, they will return after getting relegated in 2003/2004.
For the third time in less than a month the olympic stadium of Cordoba holds over 40,000 people for the match between Belgrano Cba. and Nueva Chicago. The first match Chicago won 3-1, on the 90 minutes Belgrano was winning the match 2-0, so they had to go into the extra time, some minutes after the first extra time starts, there's a penalty for Belgrano, Belgrano went up 3-0 that result was giving Belgrano the promotion, but few minutes after Chicago scored and the 3-1 was going to take them to the penalties, but in the 2nd half Nueva Chicago scored 2 more goals making it a 3-3(6-4 on the aggregated for Chicago) and so they earned the right to play in the first division after getting up from a 3-0 in less than 15 minutes.
About the other promotion spot for the 2nd division, Villa Mitre won over San Martin T. it was 4-3 on the penalties for them, the match was a 2-2(3-3 on the agreggated). So there will be a duel of saints in the play-off. San Martín de Tucuman will play against San Martín de Mendoza. And the other play-off match will be between Defensa y Justicia and the winner of the reducido of the metropolitan 2rd division, CD Morón, that won 2-1 on the final against Central Cordoba.
So for those who are a bit lost the promotions and relegations of the 1st 2nd and 3rd division, for now, there are the play-off matches yet.
Relegated from the 1st division: Instituto Cba. and Tiro Federal.
Promoted to the 1st division: Godoy Cruz and Nueva Chicago.
Relegated from the 2nd division: Juventud Antoniana and El Porvenir.
Promoted to the 2nd division: Villa Mitre B.B. and Platense.
So the first leg of the play-off matches will be played the wednesday.
Play-off 1st/2nd division - Wednesday 31/5
Belgrano Cba. vs. Olimpo B.B.
Huracán vs. Argentinos Juniors
Play-off 2nd/3rd division - Wednesday 31/5
San Martín T. vs. San Martín Mza.
CD Morón vs. Defensa y Justicia
The second leg of these matches will be played the next Monday, except Morón's match that will be played the Sunday.
Interesting thing that if Belgrano earns promotion and Olimpo gets relegated, there would still be a team of Cordoba in the first division and the Baiha Blanca's classic Olimpo-Villa Mitre would return after some years. Now if Huracán earns promotion and Argentinos gets relegated it would mean the return of 2 classics, Huracán-San Lorenzo and Argentinos-Platense.
