With the return of González Pirez to the central defense, River came out to play a fundamental match against Colón looking to practically kill the championship. Far from being an accessible procedure, despite the fact that the rival had been beaten, it was difficult for the Millionaire to create danger in the first 25 minutes, although he quickly took over the match.
Those of Demichelis handled the ball in almost all sectors of the court but without being sharp or deep. He was missing the last lunge when he reached the area. Colón, contrary to what other teams do, did not come to the Monumental just to defend himself. He raised a very scratchy game in the middle, with constant pressure on the Millo midfielders to force them to play outside.
The clearest of the Biggest was just at 26 ‘, with a kick from Nacho that almost ended in a goal and on the rebound Chicco saved what belonged to De la Cruz (with a deflection in Beltrán) from the outside. River began to grit its teeth towards the end of the first half but Colón did not give up and put many people in the area in each local attack.
When it seemed that the first part was going to end goalless, De la Cruz pulled a rabbit out of the hat: a free kick from the left corner and the Uruguayan hung it from an angle. Goal number 33 for the midfielder with the Sacred Mantle, this one could be worth a championship. The 1-0 finished unlocking River and it was all from Micho’s team until the end of the first half.
Colón came out better planted to the complement and took a few meters ahead, but River collapsed any iota of hope at 60 minutes. Fast winger from the right, with the help of the ball catcher, fast cross from Nacho Fernández and Lucas Beltrán’s ankle to make it 2-0. From there, game over.
With the stands made a party, Micho sent Alfonso and Simón onto the field instead of Barco and De la Cruz, both of whom were applauded by almost the entire Monumental. After a while, Kranevitter and Paradela also took to the court for Enzo Pérez to receive an ovation (Nacho Fernández also came out). There was no longer a game or emotions in the goals, River dedicated itself to handling the ball and enjoying the night.
With five remaining to go, Claudio Echeverri entered for Aliendro and played his second official match with the Biggest. A round day for River, without fissures. He was impassable in defense, he didn’t let Colón breathe in the middle and he was lethal up front. The River de Demichelis, one step away from being an Argentine soccer champion.
