One of the main dishes of the day takes place in the Brigadier General Estanislao López. In that scenario, popularly known as the Elephant Cemeteryyou can see the faces of two teams that are armed with the Copa Libertadores in mind and that have not yet managed to win a victory so far in the Professional League. Colón receives River Plate. The referee is Patricio Loustau, while the VAR is Héctor Paletta. Televisa TNT Sports.
The millionaire deployed his intense extended pressure from the beginning, against a Colón who tried to get out of the bottom anyway. Thus, in five minutes he had two scoring chances at the feet of Julián Álvarez. First, at 2 ′ Enzo Fernández left him face to face with Burián, who came to anticipate. And at 5 he took charge of a free kick that the goalkeeper sent to the corner.
With a participative De la Cruz and a lot of mobility, the Band showed greater fluidity than against Atlético Tucumán, although they lacked fine tuning in the final meters. It was difficult for Sabalero to initiate the actions, he settled down when Bernardi and Aliendro managed to get hold of the ball and it hurt, especially from set pieces. At 29 ‘, after transfer of the aforementioned Berardi, Wanchope Ábila touched the ball, but Armani was attentive to extinguish the risk by taking a step forward.
When those above managed to connect, River threatened. At 37′, De la Cruz demanded Cachorro Burián with a powerful and well-directed attempt. Y at 44 minutes he made the best action of the stage, with the combination of the Uruguayan, Álvarez, Barco and again the Araña, who strangely defined poorly in front of the fence.
* River’s great move that Álvarez failed to define well
This meeting takes place in the middle of the resounding Beltrán case. The sabalero He remains firm in his position of not giving up the striker before June 30 and tries to register him on the list in good faith to face the first leg of the round of 16 of the international tournament, which would harm the Millionaire, who wants to activate the clause of playoff
Those of Núñez bet to cut two negative streaks. The first is to string together their first victory so far in the competition after equaling Defense and Justice and Atlético Tucumán. The other is win in Santa Fe, something he hasn’t achieved since the 2010 Apertura, when he won 2-1 with goals from Erik Lamela and Mariano Pavone (Iván Moreno and Fabianesi had opened the scoring). In the four visits during the Marcelo Gallardo era, he had two draws and two losses.
With the casualties of Paulo Díaz (Chilean national team), Milton Casco (calf injury), Juan Fernando Quintero (left hamstring injury), Matías Suárez (right soleus strain) and Robert Rojas (tibia and fibula fracture) ), the team that jumps onto the field of play is practically the same as before the Dean.
The sabalero, who also began his journey with two draws (Atlético Tucumán and Unión, his classic rival), began to move in the transfer market by closing the arrivals of the side Augusto Schott and Juan Pablo Álvarez, who are among the relays. He also seeks to retain Federico Lértora and Rodrigo Aliendro, something that at this time seems practically impossible (the first would go to Xolos de México and the second would have agreed to disembark him in Independiente)
The front for this commitment is made up of the young Facundo Farías (at this time a millionaire sale is being closed with an investment group that would place him in Europe) and Ramón Wanchope Ábila.
