The successive blows he received River both in the elimination of the Copa Libertadores just in the round of 16 at the hands of Velez Sarsfield and defeat at the hands of Godoy Cruz in the Monumental stadium itself they did not allow another dislike for their coach, Marcelo Gallardowho put his hand thoroughly in the team with a couple of forceful exits.
Those who left the starting team were two practically immovable players among their starters, such as the Chilean central defender Paul Diaz and the Uruguayan midfielder Nicholas De la Cruz.
Their places were today for Hector Martinezto whom the coach gave him a new opportunity after his chaotic performance against Velez in the first leg, when he caused the penalty that gave the Liniers team the victory at home by 1-0, and Santiago Simón.
Both had irregular performances, more the second than the first, who seemed to waste the opportunity by being expelled when he was averaging the complement for a double warning.
Simón, meanwhile, had some interesting actions in the first period, one that could have ended in a goal after leaving Nicholas Ferreyra with a short dribble and then a cross shot, forcing the intervention with the goalkeeper’s feet Maximilian Gagliardo.
Afterwards, he disappeared in the game, something that happened hand in hand with the group performance of the “millionaires”, who were nothing more than Central Barracks at the start of the match, but they got up after the great goal of milton helmet just over 20 minutes.
A good move to the left of Essekiel Ship with Elijah Gomez ended up with the ball on the other side so that Helmet, From the edge of the area, he nailed a high right hand, against the crossbar, near the right angle of “Guapo’s” goal, converting again after more than two years.
That superiority of those led by Gallant about Alfredo’s was definitively rooted in the development of the match with the start of the second stage, when the ball was all River’s, which managed the times to the beat of Rodrigo Allendro.
This is how the second goal came, with tread and heel-assistance from Aliender a Agustin Palavecino for this to convert between the legs of Gagliardo the first of his goals in the Mercedes night, shortly before the expulsion of Martinez, which arrived at 23 minutes.
Just five later Palavecino He appeared outside the area to nail another lethal right hand to the upper left corner of a Gagliardo of good work, which on this occasion did not hit any defense.
Then Alfredo Berti had already debuted the former Arsenal, from Sarandí, Christian Colmanwhich, together with Sebastian Rinconformed a 4-3-3, which ended, however, suffering half of the field to Central Barracks.
Gallant had also moved the bookshelf with the income of Paul Diaz to fill the gap that was left Martinez in the center of defense, sacrificing Santiago Simon in the middle of the court, when his performance had definitely dropped.
But the result, although minimally demanding for River, left him at least the taste of some performances to get excited about a better performance, such as those of Lucas Beltran and Elias Gomezin addition to those mentioned Aliender, the figure of the night, and Palavecino, today in a scoring version.
now to River it will come in the round of 16 of this Argentine Cup the Defense and Justice directed by Sebastián Beccacece, recreating a controversial crossover like the last time for the local contest between the two minor coaches of Argentine soccer today.
