“The Lepers” have had no outstanding achievements for more than 10 years. And after finishing the previous Primera in the 11th place, they took only 21 points in the Diego Maradona Trophy in the spring, one and a half points on average per match – this, as expected, was not enough to start in the play-offs. Still, the club, having rested a little, began a new cycle of the traditional championship, doing its best at the end of the home match against Platense – 2-0.
