Time will tell if this is a historic moment or if this is the first time for a talented football player who excites everyone and then doesn’t improve. After watching his antics in the minor divisions and his great production in the last South American with the Sub 17 Selection, fans of river They eagerly awaited that moment, the decision made by Martín Demichelis with half an hour to go before the end of the game against Instituto. Within, Claudio Echeverri. The debut in the Primera del ‘Diablito’, the early crack that many European clubs are looking at, with an exit clause of 25 million dollars that the management of the millionaire wants to double.
Echeverri, in one of his first contacts with the ball, received a kick. The reception. Then, near the end, he was involved in his team’s third goal. Many attributed that goal to Echeverri, arguing that Lucas Beltrán’s shot deflected off him. But not. Pure freshness, pure transparency, later Diablito himself admitted that he didn’t touch the ball, that it just covered the goalkeeper. Details. What matters is that the talent begins its journey.
It happened in the 3-1 draw by River at Monumental against Institute. It seems that there is no case, the millionaires will be champions of the Argentine league if nothing strange happens. This is how they took 10 points from escort Talleres, who will visit Lanús on Saturday. It only takes six days to lose everything.
The story for River started badly. In 45 seconds he was already losing the Monumental against the Instituto, due to the definition of Santiago Rodríguez with a previous hand that was ignored in the VAR. However, the millionaires turned the situation around with a once again convincing, winning, impressive production.
Nicolás De la Cruz equalized at the end of the first half and Nacho Fernández turned it around at the start of the second. The final 3-1 was decorated by Lucas Beltrán. At that point, River had already made his ‘Devil’ debut.
A little while later, in Mendoza, Boca lost against Godoy Cruz. Jorge Almirón’s team fell to 0-4. Tomba celebrated the goals of their goalkeeper Diego Rodríguez (penalty), Hernán López, Tadeo Allende and Tomás Conechny. It is true that the xeneizes suffer some absences, but in no way can such defeat be understood by the quality of the interpreters used in this match.
The other who played well on Thursday was Racing, who cruised to a draw. It was 1-1 with the mediocre Barracas Central. Academy won it with a goal from Aníbal Moreno. Francisco Alvarez equalized five minutes from the end.
Vélez also played, this Vélez who is still in free fall and has relegation as a threat. Today they fell 1-2 against the Tigers in Victoria. Locals opened it through Aaron Molinas. Immediately the Liniers were tied through Elías Cabrera. However, two minutes from the epilogue, Tigre found victory with a goal against Miguel Brizuela. Nothing works for Vélez.
