El Millonario went from resisting the last ball to unleashing a deadly counterattack to take three gold points from Rosario and maintain his lead.
What does it take to beat River? The question haunts the minds of every team that leaves Martín Demichelis’ team behind and moves on to its next rival. And it’s Newell who will lament what happened in the final stretch, but also during a development where he did a fine job, of sacrifice and only missed the mark of being perfect.
With a mix to dose loads and think Sporting Cristal for the Copa Libertadores, the Millionaire had arguably the most awkward game of this streak that has now gone on to seven consecutive wins and with no goals conceded. But this time it was Armani who had to appear more than once for the attempts, especially from the middle distance, of a red-black team that found a way to break circuits, leave quickly and, with quick transitions, put themselves in danger.
The changes, especially those of the attack, gave River a new impetus, but the arrivals still lacked clarity, except for a ball that Pablo Solari had left behind and decided poorly. But revenge would come for the ex-Colo Colo: after a kick from Ferreira that covered Armani and a frontal free kick in the 49th minute, the goalkeeper rejected a cross with his fists and the ball fell to Suárez, who found with his pass to Barco and, before an inexplicable departure from Hoyos, almost left the goal for Solari in minute 51.
Seventh win in a row at the local level, in a streak that was only interrupted by defeat to The Strongest in the Copa Libertadores. And this time without shining, without being able to shine as in previous presentations and for now supported by resistance, but with a solidity that reminds us of another question: Who can stop this River?
