In a play that was not at all consistent with what was happening and in which the Millionaire was quite fortunate, an infringement on Nacho Fernández in the Dean’s area ended with a penal a favorafter the offensive seemed to be diluted.
The Atlético Tucumán footballers were protesting a previous foul by Facundo Colidio that was not charged, and Esequiel Barco was the one who prepared to execute it under the watchful eye of Miguel Borja, angry that he could not be in charge. But the shot was contained by goalkeeper Devecchi and gave River another chance to break the deadlock in northern Argentina.
When the play was reviewed and Demichelis made the ‘9’ gesture with his hands, choosing Borja as the performer, Barco decided to ignore that decision and executed again, failing again. This time the shot went over the crossbar and the coach exploded due to the indiscipline of his coach, who was replaced at halftime by Franco Mastantuono.
In any case, River managed to grow in the second half and had several scoring chances, such as a lightning shot by Mastantuono against the crossbar, but their chance had already passed. He could have even lost it because the Dean also tried and had another stick that could have twisted the story. But the meeting would just go away.
With the result, likewise, el Millonario leads the table in zone A of the League Cup just one point above Independiente.
