River Plate Overcomes Adverse Score to Beat Rosario Central 2-1 at Home

River Plate overcame an adverse score and beat Rosario Central 2-1 at home with a double from Colombian Miguel Borja on the penultimate date of the League Cup. With the victory, Millonario reached 24 points in the standings and placed third in Zone A, one point from the top shared by Argentinos Juniors and Barracas Central.

At the Monumental stadium, Canalla opened the scoring at 14 minutes through Lautaro Giaccone; while the local team turned it around with goals from Miguel Borja in the 67th and 87th minutes. “We were able to win, I was able to contribute to the team and I am happy. We had a strong rival in front of us, and everyone is coming to play a final against River,” said the Colombian, who also admitted that advice from Martín Demichelis was key.

“The confidence of the coach, who told me not to leave the area, stay, stretch it, the ball will reach you. I would like to go out, touch her. But they are the coach’s decisions, I have to respect that. I have listened to it and it is the result of what he told me. Glory to God that we were able to score,” acknowledged the Hummingbird.

About this, Martín Demichelis spoke at a press conference and was happy for Borja’s double, who surpassed Maravilla Martínez of Racing and is the top scorer of the championship: “I insisted to him because sometimes he didn’t get the ball, I asked him to have Be patient, we were going to arrive, don’t leave the area. And he is lethal there. “I’m very happy for him and that he returned to the goal.”

When analyzing the game, the millionaire coach acknowledged that it was difficult in the first half, but clarified that the team was never out of the game. “We were very dominant and it is not easy to break a 5-4-1 line with an opponent completely withdrawn. We had control of the ball and position and in a very good play by Giaccone, from there everything starts to cost,” Micho acknowledged in conference.

When explaining how the team changed in the complement, he said: “We went from playing with Miguel (Borja) and 2 wingers to three inside and a 5 vs. 5. It was riskier because with a second good Central counter they could hurt you. That’s why I’m very happy because they didn’t start playing the anxiety game. The changes were good for the team. It was a well-deserved victory.”

Demichelis did not hide his annoyance when a journalist asked him if he recognized that his team is not playing well. “Today was it important to play well or win? We won and we have to be happy,” he answered bluntly.

Meanwhile, to finish, he once again explained why he opted for the departure of Nacho Fernández from the starting team, and how well he did when he came on, being a key factor in the comeback at the end: “I analyze a lot of things in the changes And if they are not in the day-to-day life, they cannot analyze it. There was a huge loss in Venezuela (in the Copa Libertadores debut against Deportivo Táchira). Those who entered did very well, that comforts me.”

And he concluded: “I am going to always repeat the same thing, it is still important that is why he came in and played great. He is a leader. We went to Venezuela, we were coming off two defeats and Nacho took charge of the situation. The Copa Libertadores is like the first game of the World Cup, and Nacho has a thousand games. He is going to continue fighting whether it is his turn as starter or substitute.”
