Overview
- Talleres, which won 2-1 on Monday at Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela, climbed to fifth in Zone A and kept its playoff bid alive.
- Carlos Tevez skipped the post‑match press conference after a recent family death, and assistant Pablo Pérez told reporters, “Carlos had a personal problem and is not in the mood to come.”
- The club posted a message on X that read, “Today more than ever, we are together. All of Talleres is with you, Carlitos.”
- Pérez said the pre‑match locker‑room talk invoked Tevez’s loss and that the shared emotion helped unite the squad and lift their effort.
- Tevez later greeted fans, signed autographs, and answered a question about the River–Boca Superclásico by saying, “We win on Sunday,” a nod to his Boca ties even as he manages Talleres.
