It is customary in recent weeks. Play River and win. He plays Racing and win too. They argue for Group A of the League Cup, led by the academics persecuted by the millionaires. They also star in international competitions. Marcelo Gallardo’s team claims pure victory in the Libertadores. Fernando Gago’s is established in the South American.
River is not as reliable as in other times, because the rivals usually generate complications in the defensive zone that they could not provoke before. However, what he has not lost is the forcefulness. Barely after the first half hour, Gallardo’s team had already brought Fortaleza from Brazil to its knees and won 2-0.
Enzo Fernández is going through a current situation that invites European clubs to observe him with total attention. He is a midfielder who offers everything: deployment, dynamics, judgment, shot from outside, assist, goal… he Lives a dream moment. And he ratified it by screaming that broke the tie, with another unstoppable long-distance right hand. Then it was the Uruguayan Nicolás De la Cruz who marked the second with another shot from outside the area. The game had almost an hour left.
If there was a party at the Monumental, the same thing also happened at the Cilindro de Avellaneda. There Racing stretched its unbeaten record to 13 games, with 8 consecutive victories. The eighth was against Cuiabá of Brazil. Again Fernando Gago’s team was the protagonist, with ambition, with search.
With a little dove to collect, Javier Correa scored the first for Racing in the initial stage. Already in the second portion, the punch of one of the promises, by Carlos Alcaraz, appeared to transform a free kick into the 2-0.
In the end, River advances in the Libertadores and directs its classification to the second round. He is a pointer with 6 units, just like Colo Colo. Last without points march Alianza Lima and Fortaleza. The first two will go to the next phase.
Racing also grows in the South American. They lead Group B with 6 points in two games, followed by Cuiabá and Melgar with 3, while River of Uruguay has not added. In this competition, only the first in each zone go through to the round of 16.
The other Argentine team that played international cups on Wednesday was Estudiantes, who achieved a valuable draw as a visitor against Nacional in Uruguay and who extended to the Libertadores their very good days in the local tournament, where they lead Group B of the League Cup. . It was 0-0 in Montevideo. The Platenses are thus pointers with 4 Group C units of the highest international competition in South America. Bragantino accumulates 3, Nacional 1 and Vélez none.
