River defeated Defensa y Justicia at home this Saturday, 1-0, in the match recovered from the nineteenth date of the Professional League and once again extends the advantage as the sole leader of the contest. Nicolas de la Cruz was the sole author of the goal for the team led by Martín Demichelis, at 13 minutes.
With this result, River was left with 47 points and took a seven-point advantage over Talleres, the only escort. While Defense was left with 33 points and is located seventh.
Before the resumption of the match, a minute of silence was held in tribute to Pablo Marcelo Serrano, the 53-year-old fan who died on June 3 after falling from the upper Sívori tribune to the lower one.
In an entertaining first half, River in the first movement warned with a shot from Lucas Beltrán that passed close to the rival fence and after a quick action Defense arrived with Nicolás Fernández, but his shot went far from Franco Armani’s goal.
The intensity of the match did not drop and there were several risky arrivals for the locals, such as Lucas Beltrán’s shot that bounced off the left pipe and Ezequiel Unsain’s save, after 11 minutes, which drowned out Ignacio Fernández’s cry to put up to River in the Monumental.
Before going to rest, the team led by Julio Vaccari had a clear one with Julián López, who made an attempt on the left side that forced a cover by Franco Armani to deflect it to the corner.
