He fulfilled. Talleres was coming off several consecutive blows: the elimination against River in the Copa Libertadores, the fall against San Lorenzo in Gasómetro last weekend and the subsequent departure of Walter Ribonetto. Therefore, winning again and adding three points was a necessity not only to stay at the top of the tournament, but to shuffle the deck and deal again in a semester that is by no means lost.
Talleres won and got on top
Of course, the Cordoba afternoon, sunny despite the storms that hit a large part of the country, had the return of Rubén Botta, who after several games out of the starting team due to a muscle tear, was back in the starting line-up against Pincha. The game seemed to be turning in favour of Pincha, who had a clear and unusual play in the minute and a half. Guido Carrillo appeared alone on the far post to pass the ball past Guido Herrera, who had come out badly, but the ball hit the post and then hit the right upright again after a half-turn by Federico Fernández. The play continued with a shot by Pablo Piatti that escaped Herrera and hit the post again.

Talleres’ victory over Estudiantes
From then on, the match belonged to Talleres. However, the T was unable to break Eduardo Domínguez’s team, who ended up breaking on their own. Edwuin Cetré tried to quickly take a throw-in, but the ball slipped from his hands, so Fernando Espinoza called a technical foul and threw in for the Cordobans. The home team played quickly, Pincha fell asleep and Marcos Portillo filtered a spectacular pass for Rubén Botta to finish first time to the left post.
After the goal, Talleres came out to protect the result in the second half because, of course, for the Domínguez team, tying the game seemed like a more than impossible mission. Although he managed to connect with some passing sequences, he was never sharp against Palacios or Cetré, who are going through a noticeable drop in level. Talleres added three points to finish third and equal Unión with 23 points and to have hopes in the last semester.
