Talleres lost to River in an early final

T, who played with one more in most of the game, fell 2-0 to T, at Kempes. Gallardo’s team, a leader, stretched the advantage over his guard to seven points

Talleres could not take an important step in its fight to conquer the Professional League. Albiazul, who played with one more player for most of the game, lost 2-0 to River in the anticipated final, at Kempes, with goals from Robert Rojas and Braian Romero.

Marcelo Gallardo’s team, the leader, stretched the advantage over the Cordovan team to 7 points.

The meeting, in an impressive frame of fans, gave no respite from the beginning, to the point that, after two minutes, Julián Álvarez almost scored an Olympic goal. The first big break of the game was the expulsion of Felipe Peña Biafore. The youth defender of the Millionaire saw the red for a shot at Juan Méndez, at 7 minutes.

The situation changed all of Marcelo Gallardo’s plans: Enzo Pérez went to defense and Talleres, with a player ahead, dominated possession of the ball. Michael Santos was one of the most dangerous players in the local team: he had his clear chances.

Beyond all, River carried danger. At 20 minutes, Agustín Palavecino gave an excellent pass to Benjamín Rollheiser and he assisted Julián Álvarez: Guido Herrera saved his shot below the goal.

The Millionaire managed to open the scoring, thanks to a specific indication from Marcelo Gallardo. El Millonario played short on a free kick: Santiago Simón shot the center from the right and Robert Rojas pushed it under the arc to make it 1-0.

At the beginning of the second half, Talleres almost reached the tie with a shot from Diego Valoyes. Beyond that, the local team controlled possession of the ball, but it did not reach Franco Armani’s goal.

River was waiting to counterattack. And so he managed to stretch the advantage: in a lethal counter, Julián Álvarez got off Rodrigo Villagra and left Braian Romero hand in hand, who scored 2-0 for the Millionaire.

Workshops had no response in what was left of the meeting: it barely counted on a header from Auzqui at the end. Marcelo Gallardo’s team won the key victory. With 39 points, he continues to be the leader of the Professional League and took seven units ahead of the T, while Boca is third, with 30.
