Around the hour mark, the Millionaire held onto the three points during his visit to Leprosy and added his seventh straight win.
River is pointier than ever. Around the hour mark and after struggling for several moments, the Millionaire beat Newell’s 1-0 as a visitor for the 12th date of the Professional League Tournament, adding his seventh consecutive victory in the match and taking seven points from the lead to guard San Lorenzo, with one match left.
After a first half in which not much happened, the game kicked off in the second half and there were arrivals in both areas, with the clearest for Lepra, who couldn’t shout once because of the crossbar and another pair of Armani. Finally, when it looked like the story would end in a draw, a counterplay that started with a rejection by the visiting goalkeeper, continued with a great pass from Matías Suárez to Esequiel Barco and ended with an empty goal by Pablo Solari, after a Lucas Hoyos’ inexplicable long outing.
