River wins a match with incidents against Lanús and co-leaders the Argentine League

River Plate achieved a valuable 2-0 away win over Lanús on Saturday that allowed him to climb to the first place in the Professional League-2023 of Argentine soccer, in a controversial match.

The red band club celebrated with goals from José Paradela (25) and Lucas Beltrán (87), in a match that ended with incidents and the anger of Lanús fansafter referee Darío Herrera disallowed two goals for the maroon team.

River was winning 1-0 when Herrera, at the behest of the VAR, decided to annul what would have been Lanús’ tie, through a header from Cristian Lema (59), understanding that the Paraguayan José Canale was interfering with goalkeeper Franco Armani’s vision, an action that for all of Lanús was a misinterpretation .

For the excessive protests and for insulting the referee, Frank Kudelka was expelledthe coach of Lanús.

Already in stoppage time, Herrera once again canceled a goal for Lanús, this time scored by Franco Orozco (90+8), for offside at the beginning of the play, in an indisputable resolution.

The player Enzo Díaz, from River, was hit by a bottle that fell from the stalls while he was going to the locker room, and the referee Herrera had to wait several minutes and be protected by the shields of a police guard when leaving the playing field.

With this victory, achieved with more effectiveness than brilliance and with goalkeeper Franco Armani As a figure with a couple of decisive saves, River joined the large group of teams that lead the table, with 12 points, along with their defeated Lanús, Defensa y Justicia, Talleres and San Lorenzo.

Platense and Central Córdoba, who are around the bottom of the table, had to settle for a 1-1 draw in the north of Buenos Aires, with annotations by Gastón Suso (73) for ‘Calamar’ and Lucas Gamba (84) for the side of Santiago.
