Deportivo Riestra will have a special Thursday. After another historic victory in his debut season in the First Division like the one he achieved against Saint Lawrencethe Bajo Flores team will face Newell’s by Argentine Cup, but with a paradoxical detail and for the books of Argentine football. He will have on the substitute bench a boy 14 years and 28 days old, along with two other youth categories 2007 and 2004. Why? His coach explained it Cristian ‘Ogro’ Fabbiani.
“We are going to go with the substitutes and some kids from the Inferiores because Our priority is the tournament, maintaining the category. On Wednesday the Tercera plays in Mendoza, so since they are also fighting (NdR: they lost to Independiente Rivadavia and were momentarily out of the Playoffs) we are not going to remove any players from them to continue competing and qualify. We are going to go with substitutes and with players from the Sixth and Seventh Division“he indicated.
Mateo Apolonio, winger of the 9th (2010), is focused on the Argentine Cup.

And among those names, as confirmed this Wednesday by Deportivo Riestra itself on its social networks, are Mateo Apoloniowinger of the Ninth Division (2010); Benjamin Rojas (2007) y Alejandro Fernandez (2004), who has the added bonus of being the nephew of Enzo, the world champion with the Argentine National Team in Qatar 2022.
“I was in the living room of my house, I went upstairs and my dad was crying. I didn’t understand anything, and he told me that he was scheduled for the First Division. I was nervous all day, shaking. Whatever happens, it’s going to be a beautiful memory“Apolonio said, still surprised by the news.
If it enters, move the mark within the First Division teams to Sergio Aguero. Kun made his grand appearance in the Primera de Independiente at 15 years, 1 month and 3 days before Saint Lawrence at the Closing 2003.
The last notable case is that of Franco Mastantuono in River. He made his official debut on January 28, 2024 in the draw against Argentinos, at the age of 16. The one born in 2007 has just started his career as a footballer and is already showing his weapons in the team led by Martín Demichelis.

“In six months, Newell’s was the club that grabbed me the most, I have a special affection for them. It was one of the best moments of my career and I don’t know what can happen. It is a club that gave me everything.” With those words, Fabbiani expressed himself when remembering his time with Leprosy, where he missed an incredible play in a classic against Rosario Central that would have consecrated him.
And, in statements to TyC Sports, he added about the match that takes place at 5:10 p.m. at the Presbítero Grella stadium of the Patronato de Paraná: “It’s going to be a special match because it’s playing against a very important Argentine football team”.

“At River they never helped me, we are fine. Since the Primera championship began there has been nothing strange. Sometimes it hits us a little. There is a lot of talk, but the team has grown a lot. There are 27 games left, the team has “We have to continue growing to maintain the category,” declared Fabbiani about the alleged favoritism of the arbitrations that the Bajo Flores team has.
“No one helps us, the players are getting better and better and earn their respect. The team is very disciplined when it comes to defending. We are much less than the rival, we are not in a position to play as equals to any team. We try to take the game where we feel comfortable,” he concluded.
