On date 7 of the 2021 Professional League Cup, Boca Juniors visited River Plate at the Monumental Stadium: they won a hard-fought 1-0 victory thanks to Sebastián Villa’s goal.
Next, we will review the four successes and the error that the team had Xeneize in a heavy crash against Millionaire by Marcelo Gallardo:
As stated by DT Sebastián Battaglia in a press conference, Boca came out to worry River with his dominant style from the beginning with Pol Fernández from No. 5 and a classic hitch like Aaron Molinas. Point for the master.
The midfielder who arrived from San Lorenzo de Almagro came from a string of bad games. Even so, Battaglia stood firm and kept his position. Ramírez did not leave it to leg: took the ball, stacked footballers and was very useful for the recovery in a light medium.
With the match in a draw, Battaglia ordered the substitutes to warm up towards the end of the first half and, despite the good performance of Luis Advincula, decided to change Nicolás Figal for the complement.
Thus he managed to neutralize Ezequiel Barco and Milton Casco, players who are mostly looking for internal attacks.
After Juan Román Riquelme’s comments about Eduardo Salvio treating him as “not very intelligent” for some decisions on the field, Villa managed to satisfy his wishes as rogue players: he caught the possible mistake between Armani and González Pirez, stole the ball and scored 1 -0. He’s happy.
In the first part, important spaces were observed between Pol Fernández and the two central defenders Zambrano and Rojo. River knew how to take advantage of moments, but failed in the definition. A relief.
