National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Independiente or Central Norte that keep their silverware dream alive.
These teams have little in common geographically as Central Norte have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
