River Plate and Boca Juniors Share Points in Reserve Superclásico at River Camp

The two biggest teams meet at the River Camp

River Plate and Boca Juniors shared points at River Camp. The Reserve Superclásico ended 1-1 on date 7 of the championship of that division. Those led by Marcelo Escudero continue without winning at home (three defeats and one tie), while the leader of Zone 2 increased its advantage at the top.

The Millionaire was surprised by Xeneize’s initial intention in another’s field. A suffocating pressure easily took the ball away from him to speed up the progress and the most interesting thing came on the left wing at the dawn of the duel. 120 seconds before the start, Nahuel Genez sent a perfect cross to the head of Ignacio Rodríguez. The Copa Libertadores Under 20 champion tried an unmarked header to place the ball against the back leg of goalkeeper Lucas Lavagnino.

The visitor’s dominance deepened as the minutes passed at the Ezeiza site, although that did not translate into clear finishes against the three posts. A deflected shot from Genez closed the gale crossing the quarter-hour mark. The local squad only recorded its first clear action at 21′ of the initial stage with an attempt by Tiago Serrago that forced a tremendous save by Leandro Brey.

Natan Acosta and Juan Cruz Payal responded with chances that forced Lavagnino to intervene. Likewise, River Plate closed the first half better. First, Brey had a saving save against Claudio Echeverri and, already in added time, the 10th rubbed the lamp with a good assist for Enzo Rubio’s tie.

The tone of the match seemed to be repeated with the return of the 22 players to the field, but those led by Mariano Herrón were retreating in the face of the opposing advance. In that section, Echeverri hooked from the left to the center to shake with a shot that forced the rival goalkeeper to stretch. El Diablito was the great figure of the Millonario in the generation of the game and also suffered harsh infractions, such as Mauricio Benítez’s kick (he was cautioned) at 65 minutes.

Three later, Simón Rivero had an unbeatable play to put La Ribera ahead on the scoreboard. The 20-year-old winger was left one-on-one with Lucas Lavagnino and, in the six-yard box, he botched the finish. The ball went centimeters from the right pipe. At 75′, the goalkeeper reappeared to contain another ball in two halves. In the final stretch, he became one of the figures of the match to deactivate all the attacks and preserve the final tie.

In the run-up to the Superclásico, the River Plate team had recovered from three consecutive losses at the beginning against Argentinos, Barracas Central and Vélez to achieve its first victory on the fourth day against Arsenal (1-0) as a visitor, but fell with an equality and a defeat against Atlético Tucumán and Banfield, respectively.

On the opposite side, Boca Juniors left behind a bad semester after finishing in 14th place in the Professional League. With Leandro Brey at the helm, this team remains undefeated with one game less. The leader of Zone 2 has 14 points, two more than his immediate second, Racing. On the other hand, River Plate was in 12th position in Zone 1 with 5 units.
