The Millionaire defeated Godoy Cruz 3-0 on matchday seven of the local league.
Under Demichelis, River Plate continued its ascent, showing genuine growth. The team won, enjoyed the moment, and delivered perhaps its best performance in this short stretch. On the seventh date of the Binance Professional League in 2023, River Plate registered a 3-0 victory over Godoy Cruz at the Mas Monumental stadium.
In the buildup, River Plate’s coach opted to bench the traditional double 9 setup and among the trio of forwards available, he chose Luke Beltrán, who had produced solid performances recently. It paid off. At 29 minutes, a well-worked team move released the Viking, who slowed his run, created space in the area, and moved away from Ruso Rodríguez. Later, at 61 minutes, a penalty extended the lead to 2-0.
Ten minutes from the end, another penalty fell to the locals. Beltrán remained on the field and had the chance to complete a hat-trick, but the responsibility was taken by Esequiel Ship, who finished with authority to seal the victory.
It was a night to remember for River, who controlled the match and had strong personal performances across the board. The visitors, a Tomba side that had just defeated Racing in Mendoza, showed flashes of resistance but lacked the necessary spark to turn the tide.
With this result, the Millionaire closed the day one point behind the league leader, San Lorenzo, and now faces a trip to Junín to play Sarmiento.
