This is how the Professional League playoffs stand: Independiente beat Boca Juniors at La Bombonera after 13 years and will play Huracán in the semifinals.

Independiente had another glorious night. This Monday, they eliminated Boca Juniors at La Bombonera and advanced to the semifinals of the Liga Profesional 's Apertura Tournament , where they will face Huracán. Vaccari's team convincingly defeated Xeneize with a stunning goal from Colombian Angulo, and they are a strong contender. It had been 13 years since the Rojo's last victory at the legendary stadium.

A little while earlier, also on Monday, things happened. Just as everyone was enthralled by Argentinos Juniors ' performance, Miguel Ángel Russo's tough San Lorenzo pulled off a surprise victory at La Paternal and advanced to the semifinals of the Professional League's Apertura Tournament. After a week that even included a strike against the management, the Boedo team won on penalties and now awaits the winner of the River Plate and Platense matches.

There are two things to keep in mind. The top two teams in the regular season, Argentinos Juniors and Rosario Central, are already out of the Apertura. Furthermore, the visitors have so far advanced.

On Sunday, Huracán planted its flag in Rosario , beating Central 1-0 with a goal from Walter Mazzantti , and became the first semifinalist of the Apertura. Frank Darío Kudelka's team returned from the province of Santa Fe with a victory. They await the winner of Boca and Independiente, who play today, Monday, at 9:30 p.m. at La Bombonera.

The matchday concludes on Tuesday with the final semifinal match, where River Plate will face Platense. This match will determine the final team to qualify for the top four.
