Buenos Aires, Feb 14 (NA) – The city of La Plata will come to a standstill this Sunday for a new edition of the classic between Gimnasia and Estudiantes, for the fifth matchday of the Professional Football League's Opening Tournament. The match, scheduled for 17:00, will be held at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium, will be covered live by the Argentine News Agency, and can be watched on TNT Sports Premium. The designated referee was Yael Falcón Pérez, who will be assisted by Fernando Espinoza from the VAR. Gimnasia, looking to bring joy to its people at its stadium, arrives at this match in seventh place in Zone B with six points, from victories at home against Racing and Aldosivi of Mar del Plata. The team coached by Fernando Zaniratto was one of the main contenders last year in the Closing Tournament, where it reached the semifinals and was eliminated at that stage by its classic rival, Estudiantes, so this match will serve as a kind of revenge. Estudiantes, for its part, is fourth in Zone A with eight units, thanks to victories at home against Boca and Deportivo Riestra, as well as draws away against Independiente and Defensa y Justicia. The "Pincha", the current champion of Argentine football and coached by Eduardo Domínguez, will seek to get a valuable win in "El Bosque" to stay in the fight for first place in Zone A.
