FOOTBALL-LPF-RESERVE – TELAM Agency
River Plate, with Matías Kranevitter as the starter after the fracture suffered at the end of last year, thrashed Talleres de Córdoba 3-0 today and remained as escort for the leader Vélez Sarsfield in the Reserve tournament.
The midfielders Esteban Fernández (22m. PT) and Claudio “Diablito” Echeverri (16m. ST), figure of the sub 17 team, and the striker Agustín Ruberto (45m. ST) scored for the “Millionaires” at the River Camp in the only match played today by the 16th. date.
The eleventh victory in the championship placed River -who suffered the expulsion of attacker Alexis González (40m. PT)- as the only guard with 34 points and 3 behind Vélez; while Talleres is eleventh with 24 units.
“Colo” Kranevitter, one of River’s first reinforcements in the Martín Demichelis era, was injured in his debut during a friendly against Unión La Calera from Chile, on December 12 due to a hard foul by César Pérez that caused him ankle fracture.
The 29-year-old from Tucumán last wore the River Plate shirt (officially) in the 2015 Club World Cup final lost to Barcelona 3-0 on December 20 of that year in Japan.
Last Sunday he joined the substitute bench in the superclassic against Boca Juniors but the coach did not give him minutes.
