As soon as it became known that the leader Atlético Tucumán had tied in his visit against Tigre, the feeling settled that it was a great opportunity for River Y Mouth win and get closer to the top. In addition, so that the millionaires ratify the growth of the last games and so that the xeneizes come out with a smile from that storm that had represented the crossing between Darío Benedetto and Carlos Zambrano at halftime of the classic against Racing. However, the giants played like little ones and squandered that nice chance.
River had no ideas against the modest Arsenal in Sarandí. The music of Marcelo Gallardo’s team did not sound. There was no operation. No dynamic found. They did not exploit their individualities. Neither did the changes with powerful income from the bank. Thus the game of very low flight concluded 0-0.
More attractive was what happened in the Bombonera. With Carlos Tevez as coach for the first time on the Boca field (at his house) and applauded by the local fans, the kids from Rosario Central played without complexes and at times undressed the xeneizes doubts. If everything ended 0-0 it was because of the goalkeepers.
Agustín Rossi saved a penalty from his colleague Gaspar Servio in the first half and the Xeneizes fans exploded supporting the goalkeeper who is in the midst of a strong contractual conflict: “Rossi is from Boca and Boca is not leaving.” Already in the second stage, Servio paid his debt as an executor and diverted a penalty to Pol Fernández. Boca again lacked collective responses, played its worst game in the Bombonera and no individuality rescued it.
