Last match against Matador
Barba’s team just lost 2-1 against Boca at the Jorge Luis Hirschi. And that defeat complicated their situation in the annual standings and temporarily kept them out of the international zone.
The team knows that to reach that goal, they need to win their remaining two games and hope for a good result. As such, the Red and White team are aiming to begin their planned comeback in Victoria this week. Furthermore, it is measured against direct rivals both in the general table and in Zone A of the Clausura.
