Francisco Pizzini, one of Velez's goal scorers
In Velez Sarsfield, the presence of Francisco Pizzini stands out. The 30-year-old Argentine forward is one of the most outstanding players of the team so far in the Argentine League where he has three goals and two assists in 14 games played, being a starter in 13 of them. He has a total of 993 minutes.
Guido Carrillo, the one with the goal-scoring quota for Estudiantes
In Estudiantes de La Plata, the presence of Guido Carrillo stands out. The 32-year-old Argentinean forward is one of the most outstanding players of the team so far in the Argentine League where he has five goals and two assists in 11 games played, being a starter in six of them. He has played a total of 541 minutes.
Velez and an agonizing definition against Argentinos Juniors
In a match where emotions ran high, Velez qualified for the final of the Copa de la Liga. After suffering 75 minutes with one player less due to the expulsion of Braian Romero, the 'fortín' managed to send the match to the penalty shootout. Although Juan Ignacio Méndez missed the first shot, Leonardo Heredia missed the opportunity to take the lead and Tomás Marchiori gave him back his life by saving Luciano Gondou's shot. In the end, Lenny Lobato gave Velez the victory to reach the title match.
Estudiantes comes from eliminating Boca
The 'Pincha' had a dream night last Tuesday, when they eliminated the big favorite, Boca, in the semifinals of the tournament. The team coached by Eduardo Domínguez started the match trailing thanks to a goal by Miguel Mrentiel, but managed to equalize in the second half thanks to a penalty kick by Edwuin Cetré, which sent everything to a penalty shootout. Cetré himself missed the shot, but in a very inspired night, Matias Mansilla stopped two rival shots and left the way for Eros Mancuso, Guido Carrillo and Mauro Méndez to give them the passage to the great final of the tournament.

Two teams that want to celebrate again
Expectations are high; Estudiantes wants to continue celebrating, as it did in the Copa Argentina a few months ago against Defensa y Justicia. On the other hand, Velez wants to cut a drought of more than a decade without celebrating. It was almost 11 years ago that they last celebrated, when they won the 2012-13 Argentine league and then the supercopa months later.
Everything is ready to define a new champion!
The city of Santiago del Estero is ready to host a new Argentine soccer final. The Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades will witness an unprecedented duel in this instance, since Estudiantes de La Plata and Velez have never faced each other to define a champion, at least in the recent era where this format was implemented.
