After being champion of the Professional League, River was left out of the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Argentina, in addition to falling in the premiere of the Professional League Cup with Argentinos Juniors. But he raised his head in the Monumental the Millionaire. They thrashed Barracas Central 5-1, in a match valid for the second date of Zone A of the championship.
In an entertaining first half, the great protagonist was Bruno Sepúlveda, because first at 24, he opened the scoring for Barracas Central after another stopped ball suffered by River and, later, he put the tie with a goal against by combing a free kick by Nicolás de la Cruz.
In between, there was controversy: assistant Lucas Pardo saw the ball enter after a series of rebounds that ended in Enzo Díaz’s draw, but VAR confirmed that goalkeeper Guido Villar handled the ball before it entered.
Martín Demichelis’s team had possession as could be speculated in the preview, but they lacked depth and did not generate too many situations to go ahead at half-time. A shot from Esequiel Barco and poor control from Manuel Lanzini when he was alone, were the clearest.
In the second half, after two minutes, Nicolás De la Cruz put River ahead. And in the end, he sealed the win with two goals from Pablo Solari and the rest from Salomón Rondón.
The Millionaire team led by Martín Demichelis celebrated the title in the previous tournament, but then entered an adverse series in which they were eliminated from the Argentine Cup by Talleres, then they were left out of the Libertadores when they fell against Inter de Porto Alegre from Brazil , and last weekend they lost to Argentinos (3-2). And the victory against Barracas allowed him to end the streak.
