River beat Patronato 4-1, on a night in which Julián Álvarez converted a hat-trick and became the great figure.
El Millonario started losing and we will analyze the successes and mistakes of Marcelo Gallardo’s team.
River left asleep and played very weakly for the first 15 minutes. Patronato opened the scoring and the team was seen to be very imprecise. Although he managed to come back, it is important to know that another team does not forgive you.
In a match against a more accessible opponent, River lost many easy balls and several players missed key passes. Several of those failures ended in attacks from the rival, which, although they were not taken advantage of, cannot happen at important moments.
Gallardo opted for the entry of Herrera on the right side and returned Milton Casco to the left. The new reinforcement responded in an excellent way, he was very active and had a lot of participation in the attack. He gave an assist on the first goal and had good saves. A more than approved debut at the Monumental.
Tomás Pochettino did not need to have a brilliant game to show that he is a player who meets all the characteristics to play with Marcelo Gallardo. He gave an assist and risked a lot with the passes. He is a footballer to be promoted and the role that the coach is giving him is very important. He must be the link between the midfield and Julián Álvarez.
River did not have a brilliant match in the game, but it was very forceful. He took advantage of scoring chances and had an intractable Julián Álvarez. El Millonario took advantage of the opportunities and got a win in the first match at the Monumental in the Professional League Cup.
