This is how River Plate arrives
Colombian striker Miguel Borja scored again for the fifth game in a row and River Plate beat humble Deportivo Riestra 3-0, in Sunday’s outstanding match, corresponding to the fourth round of the Argentine Soccer League Cup.
“El Colibrí” Borja (22) finished from outside the area, the ball rose after brushing against a defender and went over goalkeeper Arce, in what was the Colombian striker’s seventh goal in the last five games with the white shirt and red, making him the leading scorer in the League Cup.
“To Miguel [Borja] you have to be close to him. For some players, emotions and competitiveness work against them, and for others, knowing that they have greater confidence does them very well. He is living a great present, which he earned because from the first day we saw a very plugged-in Miguel,” explained Demichelis, River’s coach, about the Colombian striker.
During the visit to the Guillermo Laza stadium, a modest venue for just 3,000 spectators, where Riestra is a local, the first half was enough for River to seal the match, as Ignacio Fernández (35, from a free kick) and Marcelo Herrera (35, from a free kick) then increased 40).
Martín Demichelis’ team had no problem finishing a game early that leaves it as the sole leader of Zone A with 10 points out of a possible 12, while Riestra navigates at the bottom, with just one point and without having scored goals so far. What about the tournament?
