Most of the second half, Argentina’s team acted with a minor player
River Plate will be Palmeiras’s opponent in the quarterfinals of Libertadores. After a 1-1 draw on regular time, this Thursday (21) the Millonary It was much more efficient than Guma And in a monumental crowded, he stamped his passport to the sequence of continental tournaments.
Remaining volume, missing finish
With more possession and employment of space in the attack of the Argentines. However, despite the favorable statistics, the environment has not become a “pile” of the possibility of piercing the opposing defender, on the contrary. To get an idea, in the first 20 minutes, there were only two comments from the river.
Therefore, Libertad gradually met in the game and even took the danger to Cavadinha given by Hugo Fernández. After covering Armani, the pellet was brought to the small area, providential by Martínez on Wednesday.
Score moved in double dose
Despite the difficulty in creating, River Plate forced the entry into the Paraguayan defensive which, after 29 minutes, opened the account. After a nice crossing by Marcos Acuña, Collide took from Martín Silva, but hit the crossbar. In rebound, Driussi threw a red fish on the ball and snorted from the libertad’s net.
When the initial phase seemed to put an end to the way the rivers wanted, the infamous “law of the former” was present. In a corner kick, defender Robert Rojas (name of the Argentine club from 2019 to 2023) anticipated the marking in the first post and headed hard to completely remove the goalkeeper Armani from the Lancia.
Punto of imbalance?
In seven minutes of complementary time, the game panorama has been shown with a strong possibility of change. This is because, already having a yellow card, Gallop has again given a strong entrance to the central field, he received the second warning and, consequently, the red. With this scenario, Libertad had even more chances to meet longer at the offensive level. However, with the organization and compaction, the river resisted the assault of the opponent until the arrival of the dispute.
When you decide …
In the calm brand, the efficiency of the owners of houses spoke stronger. While only Acuña stopped in Martín Silva, Recalde hit the pole, Caballero did not even marry the goal of Armani and Marcelo Fernández stopped in the Argentine goalkeeper.
