Atlético Tucumán
vs
River Plate
Atlético Tucumán and River gave away a vibrant draw this Wednesday at the José Fierro stadium, to which the cold data of 0-0 does not do justice. For the fifth date of zone A of the League Cup, the Millionaire arrived as a favorite after his impeccable record of four victories in a row against a Dean who, incredibly due to the touches he showed tonight, still has not won. .
The first half had everything but goals. Because Sergio Gómez’s team started off much more in tune, creating the most dangerous arrivals, and then a great opportunity to twist the lawsuit for Martín Demichelis’ team led to an unthinkable scandal. The face of the local danger was Matías Orihuela, who failed to deflect in his first clear chance and in the second he went offside, but burst the crossbar. That is why it was surprising that in his first opportunity the Millionaire hit hard, to open his own Pandora’s box within his team.
Néstor Breitenbruch advanced the ball in a rejection in the area and when he went for it he committed a clear penalty on Nacho Fernández, although there were protests and confirmation from the VAR for a slight but bombastic previous grab by Facundo Colidio. In parallel to the local discussions with Nazareno Arasa, Miguel Borja pretended to be the performer but Esequiel Barco did not let him. First shot: José Devecchi covered very well, throwing himself to his right for the Tucumán relief, but the VAR determined that there was an invasion and the action had to be repeated.
Faced with the mistake, Demichelis ordered Borja to take the second shot, but Barco took possession of the ball and, at 27, threw it into the clouds. A very hot moment for River, who then continued to suffer with Marcelo Estigarribia missing Franco Armani and the goalkeeper blocking Joaquín Pereyra. Borja just got closer to the break, but he narrowly missed the goal. After the whistle that started the break, everyone went to console Barco, even the Colombian, leaving any resentment behind. Likewise, the one who took note of the snub was Demichelis, who decided that the disobedient not return in the complement and be replaced by the rising jewel Franco Mastantuono.
Indeed, the best of the second period was Núñez’s team, which once again showed serious finishing problems. The other millionaire promise, Agustín Ruberto, had to rush in due to Miguel Borja’s adductor injury that worries River with the Superclásico looming on the horizon, but on the playing field things were going to ask for a visit that He seemed to have the goal when he fell.
Mastantuono had it against Devecchi but the goalkeeper thwarted him, and in the next shot Joaquín Pereyra kicked the post face to face with Armani. Mastantuono responded with another shot from the horizontal, Devecchi blocked Ruberto again and Enzo Díaz narrowly missed the last one. There was finally no effectiveness for the Millionaire who, in an evening with several setbacks, was at least able to rescue a point that assures him the top even if they can reach it.

The team led by Martín Demichelis has won three consecutive victories domestically and one more in the Argentine Cup, and wants to continue on the path to victory. In his last presentation last Sunday he beat Deportivo Riestra 3-0 and due to the string of matches, the coach is analyzing rotating the starting eleven to alleviate burdens. The good news is that Milton Casco returned after leaving an injury behind.
Atlético Tucumán, urged to add three
The Dean needs to add three after not having won in any of the four games he played in the local tournament. They barely rescued two draws and two defeats. On Sunday they lost 2-0 as a visitor against Barracas Central and for this match the duo Sergio Gómez and Favio Orsi could reach out in search of answers. From now on, a forced change will be in the rear because Nicolás Romero was sent off for a double yellow and will not be able to be there.
