It all happened in one night. First, in Santiago del Estero, Mouth He smiled and jumped to the eighth. A while later, in Mendoza, River he said goodbye very early, in the round of 16. The contrast between the two giants was recorded in the Argentine Cupwho in this way already knows that he will not have Super classic.
the victory of Mouth in Santiago del Estero It was drawn in a game that only accepted great goals. It is that all the festivities were of a high level. The xeneizes won it 2-0 with plays set up by the same three protagonists. In the first, Dario Benedetto He started it very well on the right, Michael Merentiel pivoted and touched back and Christian Medina, air, first class, hit him and sentenced. Later, at the start of the second half, only the order of assistant and scorer were changed. He started it too Pipethis time he followed her Medina penetrating and with a back pass, ideal for Merentiel I just had to push it.
The discount of central barracks was much more than a missile from outside the area fired by Maximilian Puig, a tremendous shot that was nailed at an angle. To enjoy it for a long time. That yes, to barracks it did not reach him. The triumph of this Boca ended up being deserved, which did not have Alan Varela because his transfer to Porto it is very close to completion.
Mouth He exhibited again with Medina as an outstanding man in the middle, with handling, driving and verticality. There is a reason he accumulates three goals in his last five games. Another good news for Jorge Almiron It was the good income in the second half of the youth Exequiel Zeballoswho once and for all wants to forget about physical problems, a collector’s item.
Later in Mendoza, there was a great proposal. They crossed paths with the brand new champion of the league, River, with the escort, Workshops. And this time the second was stronger than the first. The Cordoba deserved the advantage until they found it. It is that Talleres was more in the first half. He took the ball from River. mastered it He had shaken a pole Rodrigo Garro. Ramón Sosa had had a one-on-one, covered by Franco Armani. All before Garro nailed a scoring left-footed shot after several short and hasty clearances from the millionaire defense.
Recently at a disadvantage, River found some fluidity in the midfield and depth in offense. There Nicholas De La Cruz He took a shot just wide. There Rodrigo Aliendro, alone in front of the goal, headed to the place where Guido Herrera was standing, who raised his arms and pulled her over. Of course, the millionaires did not discover clarity or depth in the final stage.
It was a hard fall due to the early stage in which he leaves the competition. However, it is far from being dramatic because it comes from being champion in the league two dates before the end and with multiple arguments, and also because in this Argentine Cup the team of Martin Demichelis He was eliminated by a rival with very good individualities and with a healthy proposal. In addition, Talleres had beaten River this year for the local tournament. It had been 2-1, what a coincidence with a double from Rodrigo Garro.
Now, in the round of 16, Mouth will meet the winner of Excursionistas – Almagro, while Talleres will meet the winner of Colón – Lanús. All River will watch it on television. In the Argentine Cup there will no longer be a Superclassic.
