River I wanted it yes or yes. Racing He did not want to negotiate it. Then, the millionaires broke that tacit pact between Argentine football clubs, paid the termination clause and stayed with the man in question: Maximiliano Salas. And now, a couple of months later, both crossed in the quarterfinals of the Argentine Cupto a single game. And it ended 1-0 for Marcelo Gallardo’s team, which was installed in the semifinals with the Morbo goal …
Everything happened in Rosario, at the Central Stadium. River hit very fast. Marcos Acuña, a former Racing, put a pass as delicious as deep. Facundo Colidio accelerated, won and put the center behind. And Maxi Salas arrived just to push it. There the striker found the fate that he lacked immediately in a hand in hand that covered Facundo Cambesses.
Maxi Salas did not celebrate the goal out of respect for academic fans, including ignoring insults for that transfer that fans considered as a betrayal. He greeted himself affectionately with his former teammates. After the triumph with his definition, he also thanked his former coach Gustavo Costas. Of course, he criticized President Diego Milito because “he behaved very badly with me.”
Maxi Salas, author of the goal for River, put the morbidity
Just as River responded to his defining one, this time Racing failed his scorer. It is that Adrián Martínez had between the 22 and 25 of the first half a face to face against Franco Armani, but the goal took out the first and the ‘9’ shook out the second. It is clear that it was not the wonderful game, which also entered too many friction and, although late, ended up just expelled.
Already in the second half, Racing lost clarity and hardly scared. To some extent, that also happened because River achieved the defensive strength that had lacked him in the initial stage and knew how to resist without too many inconveniences.
The epilogue was marked by tumults and reactions as inappropriate as disgusting. Acuña, whistled by academics because on his return to the country he chose River over Racing, juggled with the ball in his head in front of the celestial and white fans. That unleashed the anger of the players of the Avellaneda team. And in that stir of runs, pushing and snacks, Adrián Balboa launched a spit on the face of the Acuña egg, braking by his teammates to avoid a fight.
I needed to win yes or yes River, this River that had been out of the Libertadores during the week and that on Sunday had suffered a hard defeat with risk to accumulate four consecutive falls. It was recognized by Marcelo Gallardo: “We had to take charge. The adverse situations are crossed by putting the chest. Today we make a difference and defended it with attitude. We had eggs to sustain it.” He added: “I am happy because we had been going through a non -positive period and it was an emotional game. We came from some slapping. We had to overcome and mark presence. We had to recover pride.” In Semis, Millionaires will face Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza.

Racing wanted revenge for Salas, but he didn’t find her. On the contrary. It ended very hot. Of course, now it will focus on its maximum obsession, in the Copa Libertadores, because it is still in the race and is in the semifinals, an instance in which it will cross with Flamengo. You should only forget the Morbo goal as quickly as possible.
