Buenos Aires, April 1 (NA) – Lanús failed to gain an advantage against Platense, and they drew 0-0 at the start of the thirteenth round of Zone A of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League. As reported by the Argentine News Agency, 'Granate' arrived at this match after losing 2-1 to Argentinos Juniors last Thursday, in the postponed match of the sixth round of the Apertura Tournament. The team is fourth in Zone A with 18 points. Meanwhile, 'Calamar' came from a 1-0 loss to Argentinos Juniors away two weeks ago, in the twelfth round of the Primera Nacional, where it was ninth with 14 units. At the Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium, both teams played a highly contentious match with few opportunities. The match will take place on Wednesday at 19:00 at the José Maria de Campos Maia stadium. Meanwhile, Walter Zunino's team climbed to eighth place with 15 units, one more than Independiente, who will receive Racing on Saturday at the Libertadores de América - Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium. In the next round, 'Calamar' will receive Gimnasia de Mendoza in two weeks, on Sunday at 15:00 at the Ciudad de Vicente López stadium. In the lead-up to this match, Platense will receive Corinthians from Brazil next Thursday for the first round of Group E of the Copa Libertadores. In this scarcity of opportunities, it was Mauricio Pellegrino's team that came closest to the opposing goal and dominated the strings of the match, despite not being able to overcome the resistance of goalkeeper Matías Borgogno and break the zero. With this result, 'Granate' remained in fourth place with 19 units, one more than Talleres de Córdoba, who this Thursday will face Boca at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium. In two weeks, on Monday at 19:00, Pellegrino's team will receive Banfield in a new edition of the 'Clásico del Sur', within the framework of the fourteenth round of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League. In the preview of this match, they will travel to Brazil to face Mirassol for the first round of Group G of the Copa Libertadores of America.
