The emotional blow was decisive. The disappointment of having missed out on the possibility of reaching the grand final of the First National It was too much for a team that was not used to receiving that type of blow. That fateful tie against Rafaela This made him have to resort to the longest path, the Reduced, to seek promotion. That’s why, Chacarita I needed to start with a clean slate. However, Temperley took advantage of the moment of weakness and gave the big surprise by winning in San Martín, snatching away the undefeated record at home this season and advancing to the quarterfinals..

Despite the difference that existed between the two during the year (one was there to play for the first promotion and the other qualified on the last date), The Funebrero never managed to demonstrate that superiority on the field.

El Chano surrendered at the feet of his players, maintained that they “deserved” to advance to the next round and now made it clear that “we have to go for more.”

And he added: “We emphasized the psychological. The emotional part was going to be fundamental. Now they have to enjoy.”
