Independent had attitude, won 1 to 0 Banfield as a visitor, in the match corresponding to the thirteenth date of the Professional League Cupplayed tonight, and got into the qualifying zone for the quarterfinals.
The Ecuadorian Jhonny Quiñónez from a penalty was the author of the only match, 40 minutes into the first half.
With this result, Independiente climbed to fourth position with 22 points, momentarily in the Playoffs until River plays, which has one game less than everyone in the top group.
Avellaneda’s team took the initiative, since they needed to win to keep their chances, although it was difficult for them to create danger against a subdued opponent.

At 19, Independiente had the clearest opportunity with a shot from Canelo, which went just above the horizontal from the door of the large area.
At the end of the initial stage, Aarón Quirós grabbed Joaquín Laso’s shirt inside the area and Fernando Rapallini scored a penalty after seeing it on the VAR, the person in charge of making it 1 to 0 was Quiñónez.
The complement was drawn by the fans of the southern team with their chants expressing their discontent with the partial result, so Julio Falcioni’s men began to move schemes and attacked the red team. A clear one was Matías González’s free kick that his bomb demanded from Rodrigo Rey, who took it to the corner.
It was not the only attempt, I believe that the local team continued to insist on getting the tie this time with the arrival of Emanuel Insúa, who scored a good header but the ball grazed the post of the rival goal and Banfield could not return to victory at home, the third consecutive.
