The game comes to an end. After the delays and a few more minutes added, Argentinos secure the victory against a River that ended up nervous and with many more complaints than games.
In a hot closing, the Argentines claim a strong entry from Enzo Díaz. Those from River protest because, they claim, the Bichito players have been waiting for a while.
Once the regulation 90 minutes have passed, there will be five extra minutes at the Diego Maradona stadium. The game slipped away from River, who had a corner in their favor and wasted it with poor execution.
At the end of the game, the boy Mastantuono is the one chosen for River’s last change. Barco leaves, with low performance and little participation. In Argentinos, Oroz leaves his place to José María Herrera.
In a cross, Solari won with a header and goalkeeper Diego Rodríguez touched it when the ball fell over the crossbar. It was a corner kick. The judges did not notice it and River protested the goalkeeper charge.
Gondou had another one-on-one chance, after getting his marker off of him, and wanted to finish over Armani, who managed to block his shot and the play ended in the corner. The goalkeeper, unusually, reproached the striker for wanting to “chop” him.
Galván hit Barco and then Montiel did not return the ball to River. Borja pushes him to recover it and put it into play. Immediately there is tumult. Even the archers reach that sector. The game is hot.
With the changes, River moves a little further forward on the field. Solari is offered as a variant, Borja is shown as a slightly freer reference. In the round trip, the visitor appears at a better moment, although he lacks lucidity.
Demichelis renews the team with two other modifications. Enzo Díaz and Nicolás Fonseca go to the field to replace Casco and Villagra, respectively.
Gondou had defined exquisitely before Armani left, but he was ahead at the moment of the pass. The match at La Paternal remains 1-0.
The two coaches appeal to their first modifications. In Argentinos Verón is injured and Leonardo Heredia takes his place. In River, Pablo Solari takes the field for Aliendro to join the attack of a team that brings together players on offense but suffers in recovery.
A very precise change of front from Lescano reached Viveros, which gave him air with good direction towards the goal. Armani, attentive, stopped the shot. He once again has the ball with more efficiency for the local team, as at the beginning of the game.
Without changes in the teams, the final stage is played in La Paternal. Argentinos are in advantage due to Lescano’s great goal.
The initial stage in La Paternal closes. In a rough match, full of blows and arguments, the locals were much closer and took the lead near the end of the first half. Argentines win 1-0.
They announce that there will be another two minutes to play. Borja gets a yellow for a kick from behind.
He went for more Argentinos and Gondou was close. He played his personal best on the left, got into the area and crossed the goal, just outside. River is in a state of confusion again.
Alan Lescano tried from outside after getting rid of Borja in his advance and finished over Armani with great class. Argentinos win 1-0.
They are far from the goals and there are many infractions. Aliendro was reprimanded and argued with the judge, whom he took by the arm. High voltage.
Diablito Echeverri begins to have a little participation in the game. River improves and approaches the Argentinos goal. His dribbles generate space in a very frictional match. When it is covered, the millionaire loses pass references and has no companies.
On the mark, González Pírez went too far and hit Verón from behind, on the edge of the area line. All Argentinos Juniors claimed a penalty, but the contact was just outside and the VAR did not have to intervene. The referee did not see it, the play continued and shortly after he stopped the game for the attention of number 10.
Verón played his personal best on the left and tried to surprise Armani with a cross shot, but the goalkeeper rushed towards his near post and saved the shot. Immediately, Gondou was enabled and number 1 intervened again, rejecting the heads-up.
In River’s first advance, a poor clearance by the local defense left Borja with the ball in front of the goal. From outside the area, the Colombian tried to place it next to a post and it went just wide.
At the beginning the local team has the ball, reaching Armani’s goal twice, without precision. The River players signal to each other to settle down.
Argentinos put the ball into play and are already playing in La Paternal against a River that needs to recover.
With the stadium filled with Argentinos fans, the two teams take the field. In minutes, after the greetings and the draw, it will be time for the ball to start rolling.
On the 123rd anniversary of his birth, River shared a video about his birthday on social media.
To receive River, the Bicho de la Paternal will go out onto the playing field with Diego Rodríguez; Santamaría, Godoy, Galván, Vega; Oroz, Gamarra, Viveros; Lescano; Gondou and Verón.
Demichelis confirmed the River team to face Argentinos from 3:00 p.m.: Armani; Sant’Anna, González Pírez, Paulo Díaz, Casco; Aliendro, Villagra, Barco, Echeverri; Borja and Colidio.
River won its two games by a landslide, against Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero and Belgrano from Córdoba, in both cases 3-0, but is coming off a hard blow by being eliminated from the Argentine Cup on penalties. Meanwhile, Bichito began the competition with a success over Rosario Central (3-2) and then suffered a defeat with Racing (3-0), in addition to falling to Corinthians 4-0 in Brazil and being eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana .
