Franco Armani survived river. The crossbar also saved River… River’s tie in Rosario against a to Newell that in his stadium he was never defeated. It’s all over. The last extra minute runs out, minute 95. Then comes the unexpected impact…
Newell took a free kick into the millionaire’s area. Armani cleared with his fists and a counterattack was born. Luis Suárez set up Ezequiel Barco and he set up Pablo Solari, who only needed to push it into an empty goal, uncharacteristically abandoned by goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos. Yes, River won even though no one expected it. So it will be very difficult to stop it.
The 1-0 enjoyed by River seems like an exaggerated award. This seems like a huge punishment for Gabriel Heinze’s Newell. It is visible: River is enjoying a cruel positive wave. His coach Martín Demichelis got it all. It was the three protagonists of the play of the goal entered from the bench of the substitutes in the second half.
River have seven consecutive victories, in which they did not score any goals. And they are more leaders than ever. Now they are 6 points away from the guard San Lorenzo. To understand the million dollar production in the Argentine league, it is worth examining the distance it has taken from the other four big teams in just 12 dates played: 6 points in San Lorenzo, 12 in Racing, 16 in Boca and 20 in Independiente.
Across the River, there is a seductive classic, Avellaneda, which is hot not only because of the previously nuanced bars. On Saturday the Carreras set up a sort of wake, with fans disguised as ghosts with a red “B”, at the door of Independiente’s headquarters, mocking the harsh economic, its sporting and institutional reality, with the resignation of its president Fabián Doman as the last sad episode. And this Sunday, shortly before the game, the people of Independiente went to the headquarters of the Racing, lit flares and chanted threats.
Then they played. The Libertadores de América is full of Red fans. The support is touching. Independiente, who had the debut of Ricardo Zielinski as coach, started it winning with a great goal from Martín Cauteruccio from outside the area. But Racing tied it with a controversial penalty which was well kicked by Matías Rojas. Is Javier Vallejo’s foul on Facundo Mura in or out of bounds?
After River’s victory, guard San Lorenzo, with his short squad, visited the poor Talleres in Córdoba. And it was 0-0. The game has several scenarios. It can win any of them. Augusto Batalla, Cyclone goalkeeper, cemented his great moment by saving Michael Bustos from a penalty.
The other games on Sunday, no goals
The other two games on Sunday, Vélez – Barracas Central and Unión – Tigre, ended 0-0. Today they will close the day Platense – Colón, Banfield – Central Córdoba, Sarmiento – Arsenal, Atlético Tucumán – Rosario Central and Godoy Cruz – Lanús.
The positions show River as a comfortable leader with 30 points. San Lorenzo has 24. Then, there are 21, Talleres, Defensa y Justicia, Belgrano and Rosario Central. Then, there are 18, Argentinos, Lanús, Racing, Estudiantes and Newell’s. On the 12th, the message of the Argentine league is very clear. There is a championship that River is playing. Then, there is the tournament that the other teams play…
