The millionaire passed Red, earned to bat and continues his undefeated arc with another devastating victory.
The question of every weekend is repeated again and again: is there any team in Argentine football capable of stopping River’s machine? For now and for eight days, the answer is no. Since that unexpected defeat to Arsenal, Martín Demichelis’ team has been victorious in his eight games, conceding no goals and in almost all games, with the exception of the previous one against Newell’s, they always deserved to win by a bigger margin.
The new victim was Independiente, who brought Núñez a plan to wait, retreat, counter, and try to strike if given the chance. He waited, retreated, and never came out again. In fact, Armani’s only save was a shot from Cauteruccio in an action already annulled for offside, a portrait of what was the idea of the Russian Zielinski, who is usually comfortable with the Monumental but whose squad has nothing could or would do.
River played until the goal matured and came up with the ex’s law, an untouchable shot from Esequiel Barco. It could have been sooner as he could also increase the difference at any time and especially in the second half when he transformed Rey into the only resistance for Red who couldn’t do anything when Borja’s point arrived, immobile in the race and which he defined with a right cross
River maintained their five-point lead over San Lorenzo, increasing the goal difference and leaving his fans in a state of ecstasy with just two weeks left before a Superclásico that will see them arrive as firm favourites.
