The Millionaire started to lose because of another goal from set pieces, but in a crushing second half, history turned and shook off his mufa.
River needed a win like the one they got over Barracas Central on the second date of the Professional League Cup. After being knocked out of the Copa Libertadores and defeated by Argentinos in the Zone A debut of the local fixture, the Millionaire owed himself a show of character and fell victim to the Guapo, who left Núñez a resounding 5-1 in the opposition .

However, the ghosts of late fluttered around the Monument. Because Martín Demichelis’s team started back on the scoreboard due to another set piece and the answers did not appear. But a goal against Bruno Sepúlveda (who had also scored the visitor’s 1-0) brought the locals into the game before the break. And in the complement, the party would arrive.
From the second half Nicolás De la Cruz scored the 2-1. When the story had gone back and forth and Barracas even had some good chances to tie the score again, Rodrigo Insúa was rightly sent off twenty minutes from time for a strong iron on Santiago Simón and left the table.
The banquet took place in the last ten minutes: at the age of 35, Pablo Solari made it 3-1 and ended history; at 40′ Salomón Rondón joined the group and at 45′ Solari again put the icing on the dessert. 5-1, delirium in the stands and turning the page for a team of Demichelis who know with only one game left in the rest of the year that they are forced to fight for the title.
