With a goal poker from Julián Álvarez, River Plate beat Patronato de Paraná 5-0 this Sunday and he took a new step towards consecration in the Argentine tournament, where he managed to maintain a seven-point advantage over his escort Talleres de Córdoba with five days remaining for the end of the contest.
River Plate had another sensational night from its youth striker who scored four goals -Agustín Palavecino opened the account- to take a new step towards the conquest of a local title that has been denied since 2014 and which is one of the few ‘pending matters ‘from the Gallardo era.
River did not suffer the pressure of having played this duel with the pressure of knowing that Talleres de Córdoba on Saturday had been imposed at home by 0-2 against Godoy Cruz with the goals of the Colombian Rafael Pérez and Juan Cruz Komar.
However, River demonstrated this Sunday one of its most forceful versions to add its fourteenth victory in a campaign that also has four draws and just two defeats for a total of 46 points out of 60 possible.
