River, a great first half and an inexplicable bump
River had everything to win a victory for Mario Alberto Kempes. He found a goal almost from the locker room in a shot by Pablo Solari that slipped past Guido Herrera. Later, all in the first half, Miguel Borja scored the second. There could have been more: the clubs avoided two more goals. The Cordobans barely had a goal play. In the second half, Demichelis’s changes and the fervor of the people from Córdoba made River fall too far behind. A goal from Ramón Sosa put them in the game, while a missile from the Colombian Portilla brought the score back to a tie. In the last play, the T almost won it: Martínez had the victory with a volley, but the ball went over the crossbar. River and Talleres gave another great game in Córdoba.
The best of the 2-2 between Talleres and River
Armani: “There are many things to correct”
Franco Armani, captain of River, also spoke after the match: “I think they were two totally different times. They, with the urgency and need to seek the result, had the clearest options in the second half. They found themselves tied, we are angry for winning 2-0 and not maintaining the result. It has to serve as experience for what is to come. Talleres is a very competitive team. There are many things to correct. We will try not to do the second half we did on Wednesday again. The important thing is that it was not lost. A point was taken. “It is a very difficult field.”
Botta: “We couldn’t lose with our people”
Rubén Botta went through the TNT Sports microphones after the tie between Talleres and River: “A joy. We started losing 2-0. It’s been happening to us often. The team showed that it is fine, that nothing is happening. We could make mistakes and we turned it around. We were able to win it in the end. It’s a shame I had to leave due to a knock in the first half. Every time I ran it hurt. The important thing is that I was able to lend a hand to help the team tie. Today we couldn’t lose with our people in our house.”

20.50 The memory of the Professional League 2023
Tonight River will visit Talleres for the Professional League Cup, at 9:30 p.m. and televised on TNT Sports. The last time he stepped foot in the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium to face the T for a local tournament, he did not have a good time. The local team won 2-1 in a match that marked the debut of Enzo Díaz – a recent arrival from the Córdoba club to the millionaire. That day, coach Martín Demichelis put him as central defender. And the result was not good: criticism of the coach intensified, who recovered and ended up becoming champion of the tournament.
