At the Monumental, they defeated Fluminense 2-0 with goals from Beltrán and Barco (p). Thus, if the next date defeats Sporting Cristal, it will advance to the next instance.
River tonight kept intact their aspirations to qualify for the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup of America after defeating at home by 2 to 0 fluminense of Brazil, within the framework of the fifth date of Group D.
Lucas Beltrán, 4 minutes into the match, and Esequiel Barco, from a penalty, at 52, scored the goals for the “millionaire” cast, who now has 7 points and in the last round has to beat The Strongest of Bolivia in Núñez to pass the round without depending on other markers.
River starts with speed on the right wing, to hit quickly and could almost take advantage with his first arrival: Pablo Solari converted with a right hand but the referee invalidated the action due to an advanced position.
The home owner did everything to win in the first stage, with many shots from outside the area that passed close to the posts or went wide.
He was also encouraged to arrive with centers but could not advance headlong.
For the start of the complement, River came out the same as in the first half and pressed. In a play from the bottom of Leandro González Pirez, Solari took the clearance and centered it on the Beltrán scorer for the vital 1-0 for the “Millionaire”.
Barco faced in the last play of the game and when he was about to define it, the Fluminense defender brought him down.
The referee did not hesitate and charged River a penalty that the midfielder himself executed from twelve steps and made it 2-0.
