River could not face Argentinos Juniors at home and tied 1-1, in an attractive match played tonight at the stadium More Monumentalwithin the framework of the first date of the Professional League Cup. Colombian Miguel Borja, 45 minutes into the first half, put the local team ahead on the scoreboard, while Santiago Montiel, 38 minutes into the second half, applied the law of the former (he was forged in the “millionaire” hotbed, from which he left free) and ruled equality for the visit.
The match had a frenetic start, in which both teams proposed their ambitious offensive ideas, which generated a shot of Borja that went over the crossbar for the local and an action of Maximiliano Romero for the visit, with the intervention of Franco Armani. River, without being entirely clear in its dominance, found itself with a penalty in its favor after Borja fell into the rival area, however, the VAR intervened and after reviewing the situation, referee Darío Herrera annulled his sanction.
The best of the La Paternal cast was seen from the dead ball and through their brand new reinforcement Nicolas Orozwho in one of his actions attended Leonardo Herediabut his header was contained by a safety Armani. The set of Martin Demichelis tried to hurt through his brain player “Nacho” Fernandezthe speed of Ship and the power of Borja. This whole combo grew stronger as the minutes passed and not only did it gain control of the game, but it was also overwhelming.
The Colombian attacker became unstoppable at times for the team’s defense. Pablo Guede, which he saw as defined to advance his team, however, the action was annulled by play of play. This did not deprive “Hummingbird” of finally being able to open the score at the close of the first act, because after leaving Roman Vega and the bailing of “Russian” Rodríguezdefined with category for 1-0.
In the complement, the panorama changed. Argentines left the final stretch of the first act forgotten and once again showed an ambitious and sharp side to corner River and flirt with the tie through Heredia and after Alan Lescano. The “millionaire” team managed to overcome the drowning in a few minutes and could even have stretched the difference on the scoreboard through Facundo Colidio, but they did not know how to take advantage of the opportunity and the match entered into an interesting round trip.
