The veteran player, a symbol of River, has already played more than two dozen games against Xeneize during his career, boasting a favorable record.
Enzo Perez’s involvement with River is notable. Although the Mendoza-born midfielder excelled at every club he wore, since arriving at Núñez in 2017 he has not only stood out on the pitch and solidified himself as an indispensable piece for Marcelo Gallardo, but also became an emblem for the river plate faithful.
A known admirer of the Millionaire, the seasoned midfielder has earned the affection of supporters through performances in key matches of the Gallardo era, particularly in the super classics against Boca Juniors.
With River, the 36-year-old footballer faced Xeneize 16 times, posting a balanced record of six wins, six draws, and four defeats, including a couple of decisive rounds. Although he faced penalty heartbreak twice in 2021 during the Professional League Cup and the Argentine Cup, Pérez stood out in the Argentine Super Cup and the Madrid final, as well as the 2019 Libertadores semi-final, delivering performances that matched the occasion.
Before joining Núñez, Enzo had already crossed paths with Boca while wearing Godoy Cruz and Estudiantes de La Plata, and he even found the back of the net for Pincha on occasion.
During his spell with River Plate, he faced Boca more than once in other chapters of his career, including his time at Tomba, where he met Boca only once in a draw, while León handled their clashes more favorably with four wins, two draws, and two losses. In total, during the 2023 Professional League Tournament, Enzo Pérez faced Boca 25 times, recording ten wins, seven draws, and eight losses.
Overall, Pérez’s lengthy record against Boca underscores his pivotal role in high-stakes derbies and his ongoing contribution to River Plate’s ambitions in domestic and continental competitions.
