After some hesitation, he returned River. Yes, it can be said that she returned. He had left a good cup impression midweek with a great win against the powerful fluminense. Now he crushed the always complex as a visitor Banfield with a lesson in voracity, football and beautiful goals. This is how he establishes himself in the Argentine league as the exclusive leader, with a real four-point advantage over the guard workshopswhich will be seven if they defeat Defensa y Justicia in the match suspended due to the death of that fan who jumped from the upper tray of the Monumental to the bottom.
did not weigh River the pressure of starting the game with just one point ahead of Talleres, who had played earlier and won. Initially, the team Martin Demichelis hit with an assist from Pablo Solari and a resolution as cold as certain of Lucas Beltran. And after a while, they exchanged roles: Beltrán served the second to solariwho had also previously recovered it and had stacked a couple of rivals.
With Enzo Perez injured, Demichelis he bet only on Rodrigo Aliendro as a balancing midfielder. It was little. And River, as well as hurt River, He also had scares back in the first half. Banfield worried him and discounted him with a penalty converted by Milton Gimenez.
The millionaire coach corrected that deficit at halftime. He sent in Matías Kranevitter, containment midfielder, and took out Solari, assister and scorer. River gained consistency and did not lose strength or offensive beauty. The third was started by Nicolás De la Cruz, followed by Nacho Fernández and closed by Beltrán with a right hand to a corner. The room was also nice. Esequiel Barco, Elías Gómez and Matías Suárez they touched it before Salomón Rondón headed the goal.
It was a perfect Monday for River because it also moved away from the third San Lorenzo, which again exhibited its offensive limitations at the Nuevo Gasómetro and could not get out of 0-0 against the modest Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero.
The other great that played this Monday was racingwhich drew 1-1 with Instituto on their visit to Cordova. The locals won with a goal from Adrián Martínez and they deserved to get another goal difference, but they did not define it and the Academy managed to reach equality with a shout from Maxi Moralez. Fernando Gago’s Racing does not get regularity in the local tournament.
The one that does not stop falling is Velezwhich at home lost 0-1 against Argentine Juniors and it is very close to the relegation zone. The fans of the Liniers club again demonstrated against the leaders.
The other match on Monday was the 1-1 between Newell’s and Union. Today the 20th date will close with four games: Colón – Students, Defense and Justice – Belgrano, Atlético Tucumán – Godoy Cruz and Gymnastics – Hurricane.
On the leaderboard River commands with 44 units. Talleres has 40. San Lorenzo has 37. Estudiantes is fourth with 35. Rosario Central appears later with 34 and Lanús, with 33. The other three big ones? Boca is 10th with 28 points, Racing is 16th with 23 and Independiente is 21st with 21.
