These are the scores of the River team after the 3-2 defeat against Boca in the superclásico played on Sunday at the Mario Kempes stadium, in Córdoba, for the quarterfinals of the League Cup:
Franco Armani (5): He had nothing to do with Boca’s goals, beyond Cavani’s shot in the third and the rebound that was served to Merentiel.
Marcelo Herrera (3): He hinted with a couple of projections, but then suffered with the attacks in his sector and made a big mistake in the action prior to Boca’s second goal, with a short clearance that was left to Zenón.
Leandro González Pirez (4): It cost him contention against Cavani and Merentiel. He went too far and was out of action at the beginning of Boca’s third goal.
Paulo Díaz (5): He did not show his usual confidence. She wrote down the discount out of sheer beauty, no longer having time to go in search of something else.
Enzo Díaz (5): He had his chance with a barely high header, he tried a couple of projections, but lost several duels with Advíncula and Boca arrived several times in that sector.
Ignacio Fernández (4): He started the play for River’s first goal, but after a good start it completely faded, he saw the yellow card and was the first change chosen by Demichelis.
Rodrigo Villagra (5): He also performed from highest to lowest, with a good start, but then he stopped having an impact on the game, overcome by the dynamics of the match.
Rodrigo Aliendro (5): He started in good shape, but declined along with the rest of the team and lost in the overflow of Advíncula in the action prior to Boca’s tie.
Claudio Echeverri (7): the best of River, great counterattack run and assist for the first goal. He always showed himself and made good decisions, until Demichelis decided to leave him at 60 minutes.
Facundo Collidio (4): He sought participation, but failed badly. Without clarity in his decisions, he fell far short of the best version of himself.
Miguel Borja (6): definition of scorer for 1-0. He was a constant danger for Boca’s defense until the “non-goal” in which he had participated, and then he was trapped between the Xeneizes defenders.
They entered:
Manuel Lanzini (5): He looked for partners to give more volume to River’s attack, but it was difficult for him to go deeper.
Esequiel Barco (5): He tried on several occasions, went back to look for the ball, was mobile, but with little clarity in the game.
Pablo Solari: He entered for Aliendro, without being able to unbalance. He could have been sent off for a strong infraction.
Santiago Simón and Nicolás Fonseca: They entered very close to the end, with little margin for participation.
