After a Saturday with the women’s Playoff matches, this Sunday Parque Roca welcomed the gentlemen with two electrifying matches. Starting at 1:45 p.m., Ducilo faced Ciudad. In a great game, Muni beat Tricolor 5 to 3 and will play the semifinal with San Fernando on Sunday, November 23. Miter awaits in the other semifinal for the winner of the match between GEBA and Banco Provincia, which will be played this Sunday the 16th at 4 p.m.

Ducilo had a sporting advantage, so with a tie he was already in the semifinals and thus forced Muni to win. The game began with an infernal hug from Muni, thanks to a great sweeping goal from Matías Gravelloni (2′) for City’s 1 to 0. A result that was going to be maintained for a few minutes thanks to the saves of Jeremías Douboloy, but about the closing of it Ramiro Infanzón (12´) He got between the ball and goalkeeper Doubouloy, deflected it in the short corner to blow up the Olympic Park and tie the match 1-1.

One minute into the second quarter, Bautista Fortes (16′) He helped Ducilo’s high pressure, defined a push to the far post and scored 2 to 1 to turn the score around. With this adverse result, Muni did not lower his arms and went with everything to look for the tie, which he was going to find with the help of Facundo Zarate (19′)who took advantage of the rebound in the short corner and hit the boards that were impossible to stop, to make the score 2-2. And just as it was said that Ciudad was not going to consider defeated nor was it going to give up, at the close of the first quarter Nicolás Cicileo (29′) He took advantage of the short corner again to score 3-2 and put Núñez’s team back on top.

The second half was not going to be goalless, because at the end of the third quarter and after an excellent personal play by Bautista Capurro which ended in a penalty in favor of Muni, Bruno Stellato (41′) exchanged the infraction for a goal and stretched the lead to 4 to 2. Already in the last quarter, Ducilo scored on the scoreboard thanks to Ramiro Infanzón (50′)but I was not going to be able to tie it to qualify with a sporting advantage because with three minutes left, Matías Schvartzman (57′) scored the final 5 to 3 to put City in the semifinals of the 2025 Playoffs.

The second match of Sunday was between GEBA and Banco Provincia. Gimnasia came into this match with a sporting advantage, having finished 3rd in the regular phase (the Pirate finished 6th).

A first half of much study, mainly in the first 15 minutes (1Q), which ended with the result breaking zero thanks to the goal of Santiago Binaghi (20′), who took advantage of a powerful attack by GEBA and opened the scoring for those led by Ignacio Bergner.

A result that was going to remain in favor of the Palermo team until Lucas Vila (33′ and 37′) He pulled out one of his many geniuses to score the partial 1-1 and then dove headfirst to take the rebound that goalkeeper Bosso gave in a short corner and score the 2-1. At the end of the third quarter, Mateo González Metilli (44′) He put together an impressive personal play and defined the far post so that Dubarry could do nothing and the game was tied again, in this case for the final 2 to 2.
