They need a good impact to smile, to get rid of the worries that left them on the first day. They needed it river and career. And in the second they achieved it. Essential achievement for millionaires, with special definers. Success through defeat and no return from academics, as well as so many trend setters.
River was beaten after suffering a draw with Argentinos on the clock at the Monumental. On top of that, there were many casualties due to injuries, which were added to Facundo Colidio. And the team of Martín Demichelis, although difficult, in the end beat Barracas Central 2-0.
He opened it to a stopped ball game. Miguel Borja scored again with a header and confirmed as 9. The Colombian already has 0.50 goals per game with the red band on the diagonal. And in the epilogue, one of the exciting boys, Agustín Ruberto (18 years old), came out to score the second with a beautiful right hand from outside the area.
Ruberto came on in the 67th minute, replacing Franco Mastantuono, another precocious 16-year-old talent who started in the face of so many casualties and showed why those predicting a bright future for him were right. Franco Armani also responded in goal, with important saves.
Another big winner on Wednesday was Karera. He killed Tigre by 3-0. With a few fatal blows, instantly. At 10 he had hit two shots. The first was done by Agustín Almendra taking advantage of a rebound. And the second was from Roger Martínez, with a header, after a corner.
There was a sweet production by Juanfer Quintero, with various flashes and a shot from outside to a corner that rounded out the result: 3-0. Thus, Gustavo Costas’ Racing erased a heavy home defeat against Unión and dreams of a good year.
San Lorenzo drew 1-1 with Belgrano in Córdoba. The crows deserved better, but they slept in a corner and Lucas Passerini celebrated. Later, in a similar action, captain Adam Bareiro tied it. El Ciclón couldn’t win it even though they played for almost half an hour with another guy.
The only one of the big five to win both games in this League Cup is Carlos Tevez’s Independiente, who on Tuesday beat Vélez 1-0 against Liniers. Of that powerful quintet, the only thing left to complete is Boca, who just drew goalless against Platense and now go home against Sarmiento at the Nuevo Gasómetro in San Lorenzo.
