The Copa Argentina now provides many clubs with a realistic opportunity to win some silverware and importantly obtain a place in the Copa Libertadores and so it is a tournament that has grown in importance. Gimnasia manager, Pedro Troglio’s reaction to his side’s elimination proved just how much it meant to him after a dodgy penalty ended his hopes of lifting the trophy. Vélez were the opponents in Córdoba and with a little under ten minutes remaining, referee Pedro Argañaráz awarded a penalty when clearly goalkeeper Nicolás Navarro clearly got to the ball ahead of Milton Caraglio. The striker went down in the challenge and managed to get up to slam the decisive spotkick into the back of the net. Vélez will now face Lanús in the quarter final.
